Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Top level feature to cover all the various ways one would want to be able to find DSC resources.
I'd like to be able to search for DSC Resources.
There are also a couple of what I would call "special" cases like installing a WinGet package or working with the Script Resource.
Proposed technical implementation details
The PowerShell gallery offers a "DSC" filter that could at least narrow down the list of known public DSC resources.
DSC.exe may also be able to be used for resources available on the local system.
WinGet Manifests should also be able to identify DSC 3 resources included in WinGet packages once the new metadata fields are added and populated.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by reviewing the proposed PowerShell Gallery DSC filter, DSC.exe local-resource lookup, and WinGet manifest metadata; define the supported search cases and boundaries before locating entry points. Done means the search behavior covers the agreed public, local, and special cases.
