Installing Microsoft.Edge has bad UX

[Bomret]

Brief description of your issue

If a user wants to install the latest Microsoft.Edge, one would assume that this is done by winget install Microsoft.Edge, which is the exact ID. But this fails as winget seems to do a search first and by that also finds Microsoft.EdgeDev and Microsoft.EdgeDev. You have to pass in winget install --exact --id Microsoft.Edge which is not very intuitive. Specifiying the exact ID should be sufficient.

Steps to reproduce

• run winget install Microsoft.Edge

Expected behavior

Installation of Microsoft.Edge starts.

Actual behavior

• installation does not start
• winget lists Microsoft.Edge, Microsoft.EdgeDev and Microsoft.EdgeBeta as it seems to be confused which one to take.
