You can search for content in Docker Hub itself, in the Docker Desktop Dashboard, or by using the CLI.
To search or browse for content on Docker Hub
Navigate to the Docker Hub Explore page.
On the Explore page, you can browse by catalog or category, or use the search to quickly find content.
Under Categories, select Web servers.
After the results are displayed, you can further filter the results using the filters on the left side of the page.
In the filters, select Docker Official Image.
Filtering by Trusted Content ensures that you see only high-quality, secure images curated by Docker and verified publishing partners.
In the results, select the nginx image.
Selecting the image opens the image's page where you can learn more about how to use the image. On the page, you'll also find the docker pull command to pull the image.
Open the Docker Desktop Dashboard. Select the Docker Hub view.
In the Docker Hub view, you can browse by catalog or category, or use the search to quickly find content.
Leave the search box empty and then select Search.
The search results are shown with additional filters now next to the search box.
Select the search filter icon, and then select Docker Official Image and Web Servers. In the results, select the nginx image.
> [!TIP] > > The Docker Desktop Dashboard contains a built-in terminal. At the bottom of > the Dashboard, select >_ Terminal to open it.
In the terminal, run the following command.
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```console
$ docker search --filter is-official=true nginx
```
Unlike the Docker Hub and Docker Desktop interfaces, you can't browse by category using the docker search command. For more details about the command, see docker search.
Now that you've found an image, it's time to pull and run it on your device.
