Great! Though last example doesn't work exectly I want. For example the first cmdlet it shows me is Get-PfxCertificate which doesn't end with "er".

But it's great!!! =)

I was a little surprised by that as well but if you think about it in the context of tabcompletion, it makes sense. When you tab complete, you implicitly add a "*" to the end.

Oh... I'm sorry, that's my fault - I wasn't too attentive =(

It works great in that case too =)

Is there a possibility to receive a commandlet which ends with "er", for example?

This is one of the simple powershell tips that I haven't seen anyone else cover. Thanks!

As for the tab-completion: Thanks for the tip on wildcard tabbing.

Now I wonder, is there a way to make tab completion work on aliases? Becouse I don't like the read-like-english syntax (too bloated), so I only use aliases and short versions of the most common cmdlets and language elements (ps,ls,kill,?,%,...).
