find-cmdlet's Introduction

Find-Cmdlet

A search engine for PowerShell cmdlets.

Source code for: https://find-cmdlet.com/

Source Overview

There are three main components:

  1. Scraper
  2. Indexer
  3. The site

Scraper

The scraper pulls cmdlet data from three locations:

  • Built in Windows Powershell snapins
  • RSAT Windows features
  • PowerShell Gallery

Each of these is handled by a Docker container so they can be handled in relative isolation.

With each module loaded, the scraper is then updates the help text, and runs Get-Module, Get-Command, and Get-Help, dumping the results with ConvertTo-Json. The resulting json can then be processed by the indexer.

Indexer

The indexer takes the json output from the scraper, and feeds it into Tantivy. Currently anything clever is left to Tantivy.

The site

This is what you see at https://find-cmdlet.com/. It's a basic front end on top of the index produced by Tantivy.

find-cmdlet's Issues

Add filtering UI

Add UI for filtering/manipulating search results.

Tantivy has lots of search operators built in, we should expose UI for interacting with this.

Support for PowerShell 7

Right now everything is run with Windows PowerShell 5.1 - add support for running with PowerShell 7+

Improve ranking of results

Improve ranking of results:

  • Anything which ends up with unicode replacement characters should be ranked lower, eg. https://find-cmdlet.com/search?q=bpkurstn
  • Built in and RSAT cmdlets should be boosted
  • Anything not named <Verb>-<Noun> should be ranked lower
  • Anything using an unapproved verb should be ranked lower
  • Modules from PowerShell Gallery with higher download counts should be ranked higher
  • Exact matches should rank higher than inexact matches, eg. https://find-cmdlet.com/search?q=new+item "New-Item" should be top of the list

Duplicate results returned

Search for "new virtual machine", New-CIVM from VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud (12.0.0.15940183) is reported twice

Fix CSS on Windows

Find-Cmdlet.com looks terrible on Windows.

It should look something like this:
