Are not the other Exchange commands recognized as well? Can you report the error? – Emiliano Poggi May 07 '11 at 06:11

The term 'Search-Mailbox' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file or operable problem.... – RPS May 08 '11 at 11:57

This problem happens because your account is not a member of the Discovery Management role. Since your account does not have permission to perform searches, Powershell does not import the Search-Mailbox cmdlet.
In ECP, add the account to this role, then close and restart your Powershell session.

Create "Mailbox Import-Export Management" role group and grant yourself as a member. Rerun Search commands and it will work.
To create the role group we need to run the following: New-RoleGroup "Mailbox Import-Export Management" -Roles "Mailbox Import Export"
Adding a user can be done by running the following: Add-RoleGroupMember "Mailbox Import-Export Management" -Member

Are you running this from the Exchange Management Shell? If you're running from a regular powershell instance, did you remember to import the module? Run get-module to find the name of the exchange module, then run import-module <modulename> to make the commands available.
