Adv, welcome to Powershell.org. Please take a moment and read the very first post on top of the list of this forum: Read Me Before Posting! You’ll be Glad You Did!.

What do you mean with “search bar”? You could use Read-Host to prompt for the user to input some text.

BTW: you choose a humble nickname! 😉

Search bar is a GUI interface, there are two basic methods:

Windows Form

WPF

If you want to create a quick method to lookup groups, then you should look at Set-Alias to create a shorcut for your code. Something like this:

Function Get-MyGroup ($name){Get-LocalGroup -Name $name}

Set-Alias -Name gg -Value Get-MyGroup

gg administrators

If you want it to persist when you open sessions, then you can use a Powershell profile to have it set the alias every time you start a PS Session:

Yes, you are right, that’s read host. How how can i add into this cmd below. When i open the powershell, it will appear ,

” please type in your group name” and i will automatically pop up the details .

Get-ADGroupMember -identity "GROUPNAME" -Recursive | Get-ADUser -Property DisplayName | Select Name,ObjectClass,DisplayName
