I've noticed this issue today as well, getting inconsistent results/counts returned, running from multiple computers (work and home):

Running command: $Mods = Find-Module -Verbose

Work PC #1 - PSH 5

• Initial VERBOSE: Total package yield:'10789' for the specified package ''.

• 10 Minutes later VERBOSE: Total package yield:'640' for the specified package ''.

Work PC #2 - PSH 5

• Initial VERBOSE: Total package yield:'10789' for the specified package ''.

• 25 Minutes later VERBOSE: Total package yield:'160' for the specified package ''.

Home PC 1 - PSH v5

• Initial VERBOSE: Total package yield:'120' for the specified package ''.

• 5 Minutes later VERBOSE: Total package yield:'12' for the specified package ''.

• 20 Minutes later VERBOSE: Total package yield:'3' for the specified package 'A*'.

• 30 Minutes later VERBOSE: Total package yield:'3400' for the specified package ''.

Home PC 1 - PSH v7.5.3

• Initial VERBOSE: Total package yield:'160' for the specified package ''.

• 20 Minutes later VERBOSE: Total package yield:'3387' for the specified package ''.

Home PC #2 - PSH v5

• Initial VERBOSE: Total package yield:'3387' for the specified package ''.

• 10 Minutes later VERBOSE: Total package yield:'10789' for the specified package ''.

Using Find-PSResource on home PC #1:

• PSH 7.5.3 PS> $RSC = Find-PSResource -Type Module -Repository PSGallery -Verbose Find-PSResource: 'Response status code does not indicate success: 400 (Bad Request).' Request sent: 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/Search()?$filter=%24filter=IsLatestVersion&%24inlinecount=allpages&%24skip=0&%24top=6000&%24orderby=Id+desc'

• PSH 7.5.4 PS> $RSC = Find-PSResource -Type Module -Repository PSGallery -Verbose; $RSC.Count 3301

PS> $RSC = Find-PSResource -Type Module -Repository PSGallery -Verbose; $RSC.Count 3120

• PSH v7.4.5 (Seems to get proper count more often - similar results on Work PC #1 as well) PS> $RSC = Find-PSResource -Type Module -Repository PSGallery -Verbose; $RSC.Count 10789

PS> $RSC = Find-PSResource -Type Module -Repository PSGallery -Verbose; $RSC.Count Find-PSResource: Package does not exist on the server 6000

PS> $RSC = Find-PSResource -Type Module -Repository PSGallery -Verbose; $RSC.Count 10789

PS> $RSC = Find-PSResource -Type Module -Repository PSGallery -Verbose; $RSC.Count 3305

• NOTE: Though using Find-Module in same session yields the inconsistent results each time: VERBOSE: Total package yield:'3440' for the specified package ''.
