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
https://adamtheautomator.com/build-powershell-gui/

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:

PowerShell

Function Get-MyGroup ($name){Get-LocalGroup -Name $name} Set-Alias -Name gg -Value Get-MyGroup gg administrators

1 2 3 4 5

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 .

PowerShell
