- 🔍&🔍 Match All keywords capability.

Most Scoop search systems provide results for a single keyword. SS can search combinations of OR and AND.

- 🔧 Complex REGEX search patterns for advanced users

SS is also cabable of extended REGEX pattern seaches, accepting even multiple regex patterns.

- (音乐) UTF-8 compatible

SS accepts searches in UTF-8 encoding, supporting searches in descriptions when the language uses suplemental Unicode pages. Please note that this feature requires a UTF-8 capable terminal such as Windows Terminal.

- 📝 Last-manifest filter

Typical search utilities provide only the list of matches including all the versions and all the manifests for that app. SS can also filter out all the noise in the report, displaying only the latests manifest of the highest version of each app.

SS can provide the output as a PSObject format so other PowerShell utilities could use the data for other tasks.
