Hey. Welcome to Wiki Life Wednesday!
Today we're going to take a look at a sweet Gallery script from Microsoft employee, Anil Erduran:

Here is the script, which you can download from TechNet Gallery:
PowerWiki - Search TechNet Wiki content in PowerShell
PowerWiki is a very simple module to search Technet Wiki content within the PowerShell Console.
The Module can be installed manually by downloading and extracting files in;
- %USERPROFILE%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules
- %WINDIR%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules
Now you can import the module with the following command:
Import-Module PowerWiki
The Module includes the single function “PowerWiki”. When you are working with your local PowerShell console, simply call the PowerWiki function with a keyword that you want to search for on Technet Wiki.
It pops-up Internet Explorer and goes to the exact wiki page.
Again, go check it out and download the script here, from TechNet Gallery:
