# Search

```bash
# Search for a token by name
nansen research search "jupiter" --type token

# Search for an entity / person
nansen research search "Vitalik" --type entity --limit 5

# Lookup by address
nansen research search "0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045"

# Agent pattern — get token address from name
nansen research search "bonk" --type token --fields address,name,symbol,chain
```

## Tips

- Search is case-insensitive.
- Use `--type token` or `--type entity` to narrow results.
- After getting an address, use `nansen-token` or `nansen-profiler` for full analysis.
- For agent self-discovery: `nansen schema` returns the full JSON schema of every command and return field.
