<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

<em>g.search.module</em> searches for given keyword in GRASS GIS modules name,
description, keywords and optionally manpages, too. Also installed addons are
considered in the search.

<h2>NOTES</h2>

Multiple keywords may be specified, <em>g.search.modules</em> will search for
all of them.

Search all modules, where keywords <em>buffer</em> OR <em>clip</em> can be found:

<div class="code"><pre>
g.search.modules keyword=buffer,clip

r.circle
    keywords: raster,buffer,geometry,circle
    description: Creates a raster map containing concentric rings around a
                 given point.

r.buffer.lowmem
    keywords: raster,buffer
    description: Creates a raster map showing buffer zones surrounding cells
                 that contain non-NULL category values. This is the low-
                 memory alternative to the classic r.buffer module.

r.buffer

    description: Overlays two vector maps offering clip, intersection,
                 difference, symmetrical difference, union operators.
