Search the repository for PATTERN and show matches. Depending on options and how the administrator has search configured for the repository, the search can cover:

• check-in comments (-c)
• embedded documentation (--docs)
• forum posts (--forum)
• tickets (--tickets)
• tech notes (--technotes)
• wiki pages (--wiki)
• built-in fossil help text (-h)
• all of the above (-a)

Use options below to select the scope of the search. The default is check-in comments only (-c).

Output is colorized if writing to a TTY and if the NO_COLOR environment variable is not set. Use the "--highlight 0" option to disable colorization or use "--highlight 91" to force it on. Change the argument to --highlight to change the color.
