Description

Relevant area(s)

WinGet CLI

Description of the new feature / enhancement

As a user, I may have multiple sources installed. Currently, using search or install parameters (i.e --source) only allow for a single source at a time. It would be nice if I could search multiple sources while excluding the sources that are not on the list

Proposed technical implementation details

Something like winget search 7zip --source winget msstore or winget install 7zip.7zip 9MSMLRH6LZF3 --source PrivateSource msstore
