Getting a filtered list of installed software in powershell

Hello Win10 community,

I wonder how it is possible to get a filtered list of the installed software on the computer using Windows PowerShell?

For example I use the following command to list a names of installed programs:
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName

Now I want to filter this output and to show only results that contains certain part of the name for example Python or Office

What would be a correct command to do so?

Thank you

Thank you all for your help, especially Paul Black.
BTW, I also couldn't run the the function Get-InstalledSoftware.
I used GetHostbyName() function to check the computer name.
In any case, the original problem of filtering output is solved.

Hello @hdmi,

I could NOT get the Function to run in PS or PS ISE !
Did it run for you ?
What was the output ?

I ran it elevated in PowerShell ISE and called the function using just Get-InstalledSoftware as I only wanted to query the machine it was running on. The script doesn't terminate gracefully when it runs out of results to process but it does the job.



Hope this helps...
