+Prettier expects each of `pluginSearchDirs` to contain `node_modules` subdirectory, where `@prettier/plugin-*`, `@*/prettier-plugin-*` and `prettier-plugin-*` will be searched. For instance, this can be your project directory or the location of global npm modules.
 
 Providing at least one path to `--plugin-search-dir`/`pluginSearchDirs` turns off plugin autoloading in the default directory (i.e. `node_modules` above `prettier` binary).
