    As per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-server-update-services/manage/wsus-and-the-catalog-site

    The Microsoft Update Catalog lets you search on various update fields and categories. These update fields include:

    • Update title
    • Description
    • Applicable products
    • Classifications
    • Knowledge Base articles numbers in the format of KB1234567

    When searching for hardware updates or drivers, you can also search for the following fields:

    • Driver model
    • Manufacturer
    • Class
    • The four-part hardware ID, such as PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_1677&SUBSYS_01AD1028.

    You can narrow the scope of your search by adding additional search terms. To search a specific string, use double quotes.

    Some examples include:

    • KB Number: KB5034441 Finds a specific update by its Knowledge Base article ID.
    • Exact Phrase: "Windows 11" Puts terms in double quotes to look for that exact string in order.
    • Mandatory Word: +Windows Uses a plus sign directly in front of a term to make sure it shows up in every result.
    • Exclusion (Minus): Windows -Security Uses a minus sign to find updates with the first word while hiding results that contain the second word.
    • Combined Keywords: Windows 10 x64 22H2 Spaces act as general filters to narrow down the OS version, architecture, and build.
