# Command search (/cli/cli)





Find a command by describing the task you want to perform.

These commands accept the [global options](/cli/commands#global-options).

## Find commands for a task [#find-the-command-for-a-task-described-in-plain-words]

```bash
sim cli search <query...>
```

**Arguments**

<CommandTable>
  | Argument | Required | Description |
  | - | - | - |
  | `query...` | Yes | What you want to do, e.g. "cancel a workflow run" |
</CommandTable>

Ranks the commands this CLI ships, locally; your query is never sent anywhere. Returns the 5 best matches. Run `<command> --help` on one for its flags.

**Examples**

```bash
sim cli search "cancel a running workflow"
sim cli search list table rows
```
