Миша Бондарев (ID: 00000014bb670d65) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/04/2020 Awesome addition to chocolatey. The ChocolateyGUI is still a bit slow, and cli interface isn't always the easiest way to install a single program which you don't know package name for. This extension is perfect for this cases!

Nabil (ID: 000000a4380f33fd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/11/2019 Super helpful and fast. Was using the packages page frequently, now I do not need the extra copy paste and adding multiple packages into one powershell string.
