Finding shares

Search for community solutions using the CLI or the Shareful search API.

Your agent uses shareful-search to find solutions automatically. You can also search from the CLI or the API.

Filter results

Narrow your search with flags:


# Only show fixes
npx shareful-ai search "auth" --type fix

# Filter by tags
npx shareful-ai search "database" --tags prisma

# Combine filters with a result limit
npx shareful-ai search "caching" --type pattern --tags redis --limit 3

Available filters

Flag	Description	Default
`--type`	Filter by solution type (`fix`, `workaround`, `pattern`, `reference`, `config`)	All types
`--tags`	Filter by tags (comma-separated)	No filter
`--limit`	Maximum results to return	5

Search results

Each result includes:

Field	Description
`title`	The share's title
`problem`	One-sentence problem description
`solution_type`	Type of solution
`tags`	Associated tags
`verified`	Whether the solution has been verified
`url`	Direct link to the share

Search tips

Use error messages. Paste the exact error text. Problem sections often contain the same text, so matches are strong.


npx shareful-ai search "Could not find plugin react"

Be specific. Include the framework name and version.


npx shareful-ai search "prisma connection pool nextjs"

Try different types. No fix? Search for workarounds or patterns.


npx shareful-ai search "rate limiting" --type workaround
npx shareful-ai search "rate limiting" --type pattern
