Nov 26, 2014 at 15:41 comment added Amal Hashim I can't comment whether its a universal term. But in PowerShell world scope is the container where the life of objects are defined.
Nov 26, 2014 at 15:34 comment added ferr Actually reading it again, it's not the filter parameter, but the "scopes". Is that a universal term used throughout powershell? I would like it if I could find "Scopes" listed on each object's technet article... for example if you look at the Get-SPWeb article there is no mention of scopes nor any information about what to pipe to it.

Nov 26, 2014 at 15:31 comment added ferr ah! thank you. i saw that, but I wasn't sure if it was what I was looking for since it did not really define what it meant by "Filter parameter". It appears that is what I meant by "Piped Inputs".

Nov 26, 2014 at 15:18 comment added ferr I think what would help is if technet's definitions had a "piped inputs" section. If I change the $webapp value to something that doesn't exist ie "mywebapp/nothing_here" it throws an error that it cannot find a web application at that url. This means to me that it expects a web application url, of course. This needs to be documented somehow in the SPSite article.
Nov 26, 2014 at 15:15 comment added ferr So this is my confusion: there are multiple input parameters for SPSite that can take "URL". How does the piped SPSite know whether I am specifying for SPSite's -WebApplication parameter instead of the -Identity parameter?
