Search problem

[jianyunt]

@ferventcoder, any ideas what's going on for the packages in https://chocolatey.org/? I cannot find or install.

PS C:\test> choco search nodejs --id-starts-with
Chocolatey v0.10.8
0 packages found.
PS C:\test> choco search 7zip
Chocolatey v0.10.8

PS C:\test> choco list chrome*
Chocolatey v0.10.8
0 packages found.
PS C:\test> clist *chrome*
Chocolatey v0.10.8
0 packages found.

PS C:\> choco install 7zip
Chocolatey v0.10.8

@jianyunt looks like maybe the source for you.

Source(s): "http://wanuget/bootstrap/nuget"

@ferventcoder no luck with the source. what's the syntax?

PS C:\Program Files\7-Zip> choco search 7zip -s "'http://wanuget/bootstrap/nuget'"
Chocolatey v0.10.8
0 packages found.
PS C:\Program Files\7-Zip> choco search nodejs -s "http://wanuget/bootstrap/nuget"
Chocolatey v0.10.8
0 packages found.

I don't know that source, I'm thinking it might be something local for you?

[ferventcoder]

You have the syntax right, but if you don't have those packages on the source you are using, it won't turn up results. The community repo is at https://chocolatey.org/api/v2

@sixtead it looks like working now
Find-Package -Name GoogleChrome -ProviderName ChocolateyGet
or
Find-Package -Name *Chrome -ProviderName ChocolateyGet

PS Azure:\> Find-Package -Name GoogleChrome  -ProviderName ChocolateyGet

Search works fine. I mean, searching packages with choco works without asterisk (choco list chrome), searching packages with PowerShell using Chocolatey package provider (Find-Package -Name chrome -ProviderName Chocolatey) works without asterisk. But when you search package with ChocolateyGet provider (Find-Package -Name chrome -ProviderName ChocolateyGet) it gives you error.

Maybe it should behave like choco itself (without asterisk)?

And is there a way not ot throw error message and print something like "The package 'chrome' cannot be found, try using Find-Package -Name *chrome -ProviderName ChocolateyGet instead"?

[jianyunt]

Got it. Thanks @sixtead.
I made the ChocolateyGet search operation as "exact match" so that it works just like PowerShellGet (find-module) for http://PowerShellGallery.com.
As ChocolateyGet has over 320 thousands downloads already I cannot remove 'exact match' behavior otherwise I break someone else. Maybe I can add optional argument later.
To remove the exact match behavior, you may comment out everything in the Test-name and replace them "return true". ChocolateyGet.psm1 file can be found in your module installed folder.

Ok. Thanks for explaration. I think issue can be closed.

[jianyunt]

Thanks closed the issue.
