11 Description
12 This command will search the npm markdown documentation files for the
13 terms provided, and then list the results, sorted by relevance.

15 If only one result is found, then it will show that help topic.

17 If the argument to npm help is not a known help topic, then it will
18 call help-search. It is rarely if ever necessary to call this command
19 directly.
