Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
As a user, I want to know who uploaded a package to the gallery, because that can't be spoofed.
On the gallery, when I search, I see the module name, latest version, download count, and owner (aka the uploader, labelled "By") and can browse all the other modules by the same author.
Find-PSResource offers no parity at all. It doesn't search descriptions (only names), and only shows the Name, Version, and Description. In fact, the download counts and owner are missing from the object -- information we know is available in the nuget search response. Since the author and company name are "just metadata" that isn't checked or validated at all, making the owner (and download count) available on the return seems critical.
Example (results in gallery):

Research direction
Start by tracing the Find-PSResource command and its handling of the NuGet search response. Compare the returned fields with the gallery results and identify how description search is currently limited. Done means search results expose the owner and download count and support searching descriptions with behavior matching the stated gallery parity.
