# Extension Search
## As a
developer looking for useful extensions
## I want
to search for available gor extensions
## Acceptance criteria
1. Running `gor extension search <query>` searches for extensions matching the query
2. Results show: extension name, description, author, and star count
3. `--limit` / `-L` flag caps results (default: 30)
4. `--json` flag outputs as JSON with optional field selection
5. `--hostname` flag targets a specific host
6. If no results are found, a clear message is shown
7. The search queries a well-known extension registry (e.g., GitHub topics)
## Out of scope
- Installing extensions from search results (use `gor extension install`)
- Filtering by category or tag
