How can I get a list of versions of jQuery using the Nuget console?

Question

I'm trying to figure out a workaround for an issue I have with jQuery 2.0 being the version Nuget wants to update to via the GUI (Can I keep Nuget on the jQuery 1.9.x/1.x path (instead of upgrading to 2.x)?).

Looking at this answer to another question it appears that I should be able to use the Nuget console to get all versions of jQuery:

Get-Package -ListAvailable -Filter 'jQuery' -AllVersions

Then I should be able to pick the version I want and update it:

Install-Package jQuery -Version 1.9.1

or

Update-Package jQuery -Version 1.9.1

Unfortunately, while updating works perfectly, trying to get a list of jQuery versions ends up grabbing numerous projects that merely refer to or contain jQuery in their title.

I suppose I could use Open-PackagePage, but that seems klunky.

However, I don't see any parameters that suggest I can filter by Id in the official docs.

Is there a way to restrict the Nuget console to search only by project Id? Or is there some other way I can get a listing of versions of jQuery using the Nuget console? I've tried quotes around my jQuery filter (-filter 'jQuery') but that didn't resolve the issue either.

Answer 1

Type Install-Package JQuery -Version then Space, then Tab.

This displays a list of all available versions for that package.

The problem with Get-Package and its -Filter option is that it does a search of both ID and Description fields. I agree that it would be very useful if there was an -ID option or similar.
