|
|
|
|
| Option | Description |
|
|
|--------|-------------|
|
|
| `query` (positional) | Full-text query (matches title, description, creator, subject) |
|
|
| `--mediatype` | `texts` / `movies` / `audio` / `software` / `image` / `web` / `data` / `collection` |
|
|
| `--sort` | `downloads` (default) / `date` / `addeddate` / `week` / `title` |
|
|
| `--limit` | Max items (1-100, default: 20) |
|
|
|
|
Returns rows with `rank, identifier, title, creator, date, mediatype, downloads, url`. The `identifier` round-trips into `opencli archive item <identifier>`.
