choco-search: Only include exact matches in the results.
$ choco search ${query} --exact
try on your machine

This command is written in a syntax that may be used in a Windows PowerShell terminal. It is used to perform a search within the Chocolatey package repository, which is a package manager for Windows.

  • "choco" is the command to interact with Chocolatey.
  • "search" is the subcommand used to search for packages.
  • "${query}" represents the search term or keyword you want to search for. It is expected that you replace "${query}" with your specific search term.

Here, the "--exact" option is also included, which ensures that the search results only include packages with an exact match to the query provided, rather than including partial matches or related results.

To run this command, you need to have Chocolatey installed on your system, properly set up, and have a connection to the internet to access the Chocolatey package repository.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
