It is a space or equal between --profile and release, not a dash. --profile is the keyword and profile is the value.

Note that the information searched by fpm-search is the data for the original fpm registry which is not being reviewed and added to any more as a new repository is under development that supplants it; but the API for searching the repository has not been established yet (as far as I know).

PS:
An additional nice place to browse for fpm packages is
https://github.com/topics/fortran-package-manager
anyone with fpm packages on github that wants them listed there just has to add “fortran-package-manager” as a topic for their repository.
