The minor differences can be a major issue. Powershell 7 still doesn't come installed on any windows system as far as I know, so you are better off targeting Powershell 5, and unable to take advantage of the features offered by 7.

It's also worth pointing out that those Microsoft docs differentiate between the two major versions of powershell using the names "Windows Powershell" and "Powershell".

Scoop favors portable installs and typically manages upgrades and migrations for you. It does support non portable tools but these live in a different bucket. Chocolatey, and to a greater extent, winget typically defer to the individual app

I suspect there's more going on. Why is the search index consuming multiple GBs? And why does that seem to grow unconstrained? I can only imagine what ancient code may live in that feature.

The select list is meaningless without everything that follows. Knowing that a query selects "id, "date" tells you nothing without knowing the table, the search criteria, etc.

Not sure what your limitations are, but it is possible to run everything in portable mode. You just won't have the background service to maintain the index.
