Microsoft has a pre-release of the Script Explorer which allows you to search poshcode, technet gallery as well as local repositories. Its kinda neat.

It ties in to ISE but not so nicely, however, with most things PowerShell, you can fix that.

This will work for a 64 bit system, I think you can easily see the change if you have a 32 bit system.


$filepath=  'c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Script Explorer for Windows PowerShell\Microsoft.ScriptExplorer.ps1'

$content = gc $filepath

$content[4] += " | out-null"
$content | Out-File $filepath

No more spew on the screen!
