       flatpak search TEXT

DESCRIPTION         top

       Searches for applications and runtimes matching TEXT. Note that
       this uses appstream data that can be updated with the flatpak
       update command. The appstream data is updated automatically only
       if it's at least a day old.

       -u, --user
           Only search through remotes in the per-user installation.

       --system
           Only search through remotes in the default system-wide
           installation.

       --installation=NAME
           Show a system-wide installation by NAME among those defined in
           /etc/flatpak/installations.d/. Using --installation=default is
           equivalent to using --system.

           to change ellipsization.
