Steps to reproduce
winget install zoom.zoom
winget install git.git
winget install Python.Python.3
Expected behavior
Should successfully install git, python3 and zoom web client
Actual behavior
Multiple packages found matching input criteria. Please refine the input.

The workaround is to use the --id flag, e.g. winget install --id Git.Git, to require case-sensitivity, you can also add a -e after winget. It looks like there is another workaround involving -s winget#1523 (comment).
I am adding this comment here as that issue seems so crowded that the workarounds seem a bit difficult to find for me.
Hopefully we should start seeing the fix shortly though. -s winget forces winget to only search the community repo, which gets around the search mess since it's due to the msstore's search being a bit overzealous.
