I frequently find myself typing "find", pressing right arrow to autocomplete Find-WinGetPackage somePackageIdentifier, then pressing Ctrl+backspace to delete the somePackageIdentifier and replace with what I'm looking for. I agree that an alias would be useful, but "find" seems too generic, and also might overlap with find.exe.
