I ran thw Search-Cloud command for the first time and got error stating it didn't know what "Type" was. So I ran the help and checked the online version of help too and example 2 has the following:
-------------- Example 2 --------------
Search-Cloud -Type vAppTemplate
Searches the cloud server for virtual appliance templates. The user is connected as a cloud user.
If I ran that exact command as is and I get the following error:
PS C:\> Search-Cloud -Type vAppTemplate
Search-Cloud : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Type'.
At line:1 char:19
+ Search-Cloud -Type <<<< vAppTemplate
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Search-Cloud], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Commands.Cmdlets.SearchCloud
Yet if I leave out "Type" I get the expected results...

This is not a major issue, but it's not the only issue I've picked up with Search-Cloud, If I try filter by CatalogName I get and error too...
PS C:\> Search-Cloud VAppTemplate -filter 'CatalogName==Build 60.00 (LC4)'
