Get-Website command returning multiple websites

Question

In PowerShell V3, I am having issue with Get-Website command.

Whenever I do

PS c:\> Get-Website -Name "MyWebsite"

It returns all the websites on that server. It is either the command is behaving differently or I am getting it wrong.

If I do a Get-type on the returned object then it is of type Array. If I understand it right then it should only return one website.

Please advise.

Apparently there is a bug with the command bug link

Wrapping the name in wildcard characters works:

  get-website -name "*MyWebsite*"
