# Using WP-CLI

The WP-CLI Terminal is not the same as an SSH command prompt. The only command available is wp with another command called an "argument" after it. For example:

`wp theme list`

`wp plugin list`

`wp user list`

The wp command invokes WP-CLI, and \[item] list displays lists of each of those items.

One of the most powerful tools available in WP-CLI is the search-replace command, which allows you to search the database for any text and replace it.

For example, the following command changes references from an old domain name (example.net) to a new domain name (example.com):

wp search-replace '[https://example.net](https://example.net)' '[https://example.com](https://example.com)'

<Note>
  Important
  You should not use this command to change a site’s domain name. The example above refers to an arbitrary URL in the database.
</Note>

In some cases, you may need to use the options --all-tables and --precise to instruct WP-CLI to search the entire database. You may also want to add the --dry-run option at the end so you can test the command without making any actual replacements in the database.
