Filtering search results

The Packages tab displays all available packages in the PowerShell Gallery.

There are several ways to filter, sort, and search the packages. To see more details about a particular package, click the package.

Filter By

The drop-down under "Filter By" allows users to filter the results by:

• Include Prerelease
• Stable Only

For information about "Prerelease" and "Stable", see Prerelease Versioning Added to PowerShellGet and PowerShell Gallery in the PowerShell Team Blog.

The checkboxes under the drop-down allow users to filter the results by:

• Package Types
  • Module
  • Script
• Categories
  • Cmdlet
  • DSC Resource
  • Function
  • Role Capability
  • Workflow

To see only modules in the PowerShell Gallery, check Module in the Package Types. Similarly, to see only scripts in the PowerShell Gallery, check Script in the Package Types.

Note

Filters are inclusive. Example: A package containing both cmdlets and functions will appear if either Cmdlet or Function (or both) are checked. If neither are selected, the package will not appear. Similarly, if all categories are selected, only packages containing one of those categories will appear. Packages that do not belong to any of those categories will not appear.

Sort By

The Sort By drop-down allows users to sort the results by:

• Popularity - Popularity is determined by Download Count
• A-Z - Alphabetically by package name
• Recent - Packages appear in order of publish date

Search Box

The Search Box allows users to search the packages on keywords. For more information, see Gallery Search Syntax.
