Brief description of your issue

I wanted to install a locally created package and accidentally entered winget install . (instead of winget install -m .). Then the winget package manager started the installation of a strange Chinese package.

Steps to reproduce

Enter winget show .

Expected behavior

There should be no package listed under the "." label/moniker. If so, it should have something to do with a dot.

Actual behavior

The dot character seems to be the moniker to a strange package.

Would you be able to share a screenshot?

When I do winget install . or winget show . it's related to an application called .NET Developer from Microsoft Store:

The "show" command and the "install" command use similar logic attempting to find a "best match". In this case it's the first search result returned by the "msstore" Microsoft Store search. We have work to do on the search behavior for the "msstore" source.
