Overview

Searches the given substring in crate names (or properties with --property), and shows the most recent release of matching crates (unless --full is specified).

Use --crates to get a simple list of only crate names and descriptions. Otherwise, besides version, description and release notes, a status column with the following status flags is provided:

E: the release is externally provided.
S: the release is available through a system package.
U: the release is not available in the current platform.
X: the release has dependencies that cannot be resolved.

The reasons for unavailability (U) can be ascertained with 'alr show <crate>=<version>'. Unresolvable releases (X) should not happen in platforms with assigned maintainers. Common reasons are missing system dependencies that have been phased out by the platform without being updated yet in the community index.
