When searching for a NuGet Package with the Find-Package command no packages are found unless you add a wildcard character to the value of the name parameter.
Find-Package -Name PackageName -Source Test -Credential (Get-Credential) does not work but
Find-Package -Name PackageName* -Source Test -Credential (Get-Credential) does
The problem with this behavior is that it's not possible to find a package by the exact name, so a package called PackageName123 would also be returned and it also is not possible to combine a wildcard search with the AllVersions flag
