# lei-ls-search(1)

list saved search queries

## NAME

lei-ls-search - list saved search queries

## SYNOPSIS

lei ls-search \[OPTIONS\] \[PREFIX\]

## DESCRIPTION

List saved search queries (generated from `"lei q -o OUTPUT"`). If `"PREFIX"` is given, restrict the output to entries that start with the specified value.

## OPTIONS

- \-f FORMAT

  - \--format=FORMAT

  Display JSON output rather than default short output that includes only the saved search location.  Possible values are `"json"`, `"jsonl"`, or `"concatjson"`.

- \--pretty

  Pretty-print `"json"` or `"concatjson"` output.  If stdout is opened to a tty and used as the `"--output"` destination, `"--pretty"` is enabled by default.

- \-l

  Long listing format (shortcut for `"--format=json"`).

- \--ascii

  Escape non-ASCII characters.

- \-z

  - \-0

  Use `"\0"` (NUL) instead of newline (CR) to delimit lines.  This option is incompatible with `"--format"`.
