FEATURES


- 🛸 'Outta This World' speed


Scoop Super Search is capable of searching in more than 800 buckets and 52,000 app manifests in internet. It uses the lightning fast ScoopMaster database to provide intantaneous results in less than 500 ms.


- ⭐ Always updated


Scoop Super Search uses the ScoopMaster database, ensuring the latest results and highest versions for every app in Scoop. The database is updated every 30 minutes, ensuring fresh results, newer than even the official scoop app database.


- 🔍 Searches in names AND descriptions improving the search flexibility.


Most Scoop search tools provide results only referred to the app name. SS can search also in the app descriptions.


- 🔍&🔍 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 also supports 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.


- 🎨 Color coding for quick reference


The result is displated with color coding for easy identigication of the matched words, the official buckets, and the bucket of the newer manifest available for each app.


- 🪟 Interoperability with other PowerShell scripts


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


- 🌐 Homepage information


SS has an option that displays the homepage of each manifest. That makes easier to reasearch the source of the app, find details about it, etc.


- 🌐 Backward compatible with Windows PowerShell 5.1


SS Is compatible with the powerfull and fast Powershell Core from MS Store, or with the default Windows Powrshell included with Windows 10/11.
