nxp-monkey search

Purpose

Search the local nxp_monkey index for parts by name or family root. Partial matches (prefix and substring) are supported by default; pass --fuzzy to also rank by edit-ratio similarity for typos.

Usage

nxp-monkey search QUERY [--fuzzy] [--limit N]

Arguments

Arg / flag	Effect
QUERY	Case-insensitive search string.
--fuzzy	Add edit-ratio matches above 0.55 similarity.
--limit N	Maximum number of hits (default 50).

Output

Tab-separated rows with columns part, family, score, matched. Ranked descending by score. Returns exit code 1 with a hint when the index is empty.

Scoring

Match	Score
exact part match	1.00
exact family match	0.95
part prefix	0.90
family prefix	0.85
part substring	0.70
family substring	0.65
fuzzy ratio	0.6 × ratio (when above threshold)

--json mode

With the global --json flag, search writes search.json to the working directory (query, hits with part / family / score / matched) and prints that path on stdout instead of the table.
