Winget-cli: Ability to search for packages.

Created on 26 May 2020  路  2Comments  路  Source: microsoft/winget-cli

Add function to search for packages, similar to

choco find packagename

Example. I want to install Chrome.

winget find chrome

and the result would be

found 3 packages
chrome
chrome-beta
chrome-dev

There is a search function already: winget search [searchterm], e.g.:

# search packages that contain the term 'git' in all of their metadata
PS> winget search git

# search packages that contain the term 'git' in their name
PS> winget search --name git

Call winget search --help to list optional parameters. This ticket can be closed.

As @megamorf pointed out, the "search" command has been implemented.
