   summary "Retrieve and store facts."
   description <<-'EOT'
     This subcommand manages facts, which are collections of normalized system
     information used by Puppet. It can read facts directly from the local system
     (with the default `facter` terminus).
   EOT
 
   find = get_action(:find)
   find.summary "Retrieve a node's facts."
   find.arguments "[<node_certname>]"
   find.returns <<-'EOT'
     A hash containing some metadata and (under the "values" key) the set
     of facts for the requested node. When used from the Ruby API: A
     Puppet::Node::Facts object.
 
     RENDERING ISSUES: Facts cannot currently be rendered as a string; use yaml
     or json.
   EOT
   find.notes <<-'EOT'
     When using the `facter` terminus, the host argument is ignored.
   EOT
   find.examples <<-'EOT'
     Get facts from the local system:
 
     $ puppet facts find
   EOT
+  find.default = true
 
   deactivate_action(:destroy)
   deactivate_action(:search)
 end
