Search
Search in MyNixOS is performed client-side. An index of entries is downloaded from the MyNixOS server and searched using the extended search from the library Fuse.js. The index is persisted client-side.
Note that the Fuse.js library has been modified to set include-match as the default match type.
Examples
| Query | Description | Test |

White space acts as an AND operator, while a single pipe (|) character acts as an OR operator.
To escape white space, use double quote, e.g. ="scheme language" for exact match.
