Msf::DBManager::ModuleCache#search_modules

This provides a standard set of search filters for every module.

Supported keywords with the format <keyword>:<search_value>:
+app+:: If +client+ then matches +'passive'+ stance modules, otherwise matches +'active' stance modules.
+author+:: Matches modules with the given author email or name.
+bid+:: Matches modules with the given Bugtraq ID.
+cve+:: Matches modules with the given CVE ID.
+edb+:: Matches modules with the given Exploit-DB ID.
+name+:: Matches modules with the given full name or name.
+os+, +platform+:: Matches modules with the given platform or target name.
+ref+:: Matches modules with the given reference ID.
+type+:: Matches modules with the given type.

Any text not associated with a keyword is matched against the description,
the full name, and the name of the module; the name of the module actions;
the name of the module archs; the name of the module authors; the name of
module platform; the module refs; or the module target.
