How can I turn off searching the MS store

[Josh65-2201]

When I try to install something it always prioritizing the store with nothing related to what I put in even when the list command find it instantly. Is there a way of turning of the store search or putting it on the bottom of the search list.

I provided a few customization tips in the blog announcing the Windows Package Manager 1.1 release.

This is required, so many fake duplicate store packages designed to trick you into installing malware.

There is no malware on either of the repositories. Horrible, perhaps maliciously designed programs, maybe, but no actual malware.

This is like saying "this lock is tamperproof".

Thank you for replying to this almost 2-year-old issue by basically saying, "But there's always a chance."

Snark aside, it's pretty decent to point out that you can't trust random software.
