Overview
It would be really nice to be able to search for available commands using the CLI. An example of this functionality is the find command in FRRouting's vtysh shell:
https://docs.frrouting.org/en/latest/basic.html#clicmd-find-REGEX...
This would allow a CLI user to be able to quickly search for a command that they know (or suspect) exists, but that they don't know the location/hierarchy of.

Research direction
Start by examining the CLI entry points and command-dispatch structure in oxide.rs, then compare the requested behavior with FRRouting's vtysh find command. Done means CLI users can search available commands by a known or suspected name or pattern and receive useful command locations.
