# Browse and search

> Find plugins by the items they carry — CLI, Studio, or the web.

Search the marketplace at item level: the query matches the tools, extensions,
and agents a plugin carries, and the result tells you which plugin to install.

## Search from the CLI

`tai plugins search` queries the registry through your server. Filter by item
kind, category, and tag, and sort by downloads, last update, or name.

```bash theme={null}
tai plugins search uuid --kind tool
tai plugins search --category productivity --sort downloads
tai plugins search --tag http --tag cache
```

`--tag` is repeatable — pass it once per tag. `--sort` accepts `downloads`,
`updated`, or `name`. `tai plugins categories` lists the registry's controlled
category vocabulary — the values the `--category` filter accepts.

Fetch one listing's full picture — its items and versions — by its
`namespace/name` ref:

```bash theme={null}
tai plugins info tai42/toolbox
```

## Browse in the Studio

The Studio's Marketplace screen drives the same search with facet chips for
kind, category, and tags and a sort control, and opens a plugin's detail —
items, versions, description, and repository link — with install a click away.
See [the screens](/studio/screens).

## Browse on the web

A public browse-only marketplace web site accompanies the registry — search
and read there without a running server; installing always happens from a
server. Its hostname is deployment configuration, documented at its own deploy.

<Note>
  Search is item-level, install is plugin-level: a result row names the item
  you found and the listing that ships it.
