NPM search remote packages

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to search remote NPM packages in my installation of version 0.2.19. npm ls and npm search (one an apparent alias of the other) display only locally installed packages. The associated help dialog/manpage lacks an obvious answer, except this ambiguous reference to a configuration option:

CONFIGURATION

listopts Default: ""

   A whitespace-separated list of extra args that are always passed to npm ls

   For example: listopts = remote

   npm ls

   The output here will always filter by remote

Should I conclude that the only way for npm to search remote repositories is to add a setting in a configuration file, or is there a command that I can use?
