Search Docs
search-docsRead-onlyIdempotent
Searches the whole standard, every section of every page and every checklist rule, and returns the best matches: where each one is, a short excerpt, and for rules, their ID, level and scope.
WHEN TO USE: to find where a topic is covered when you don't know the page or the section, like "focus after delete", "spinner", "aria-pressed" or "dark mode". Then read a section with get-page, or rules with list-rules. WHEN NOT TO USE: to list a component's rules, use list-rules. To see which components there are, use list-components.
Search for a few specific words rather than a whole question.
