In this release, you get PowerShell [tab] autocomplete.
When multiple sources are present, search will look across them. (This is in anticipation of support for store apps.)
New Feature
#146 Autocomplete [tab] winget commands in PowerShell
You will need to modify your PowerShell $PROFILE to get this to work following these instructions.
This update will allow you to:
winget install git or winget install powershell
The default behavior for the commands above requires a case insensitive match with a package by Id, Name, or Moniker. If you specify which field with an argument, you can make it even more specific. You can use the show command to play around with it as it uses the same semantics to find a package without the need to cancel the install.
We've also added a feature toggle mechanism so you can enable or disable experimental features.
