Conditional Where Clause in Powershell

Switching between ‘match‘ and ‘eq‘ in a where clause, depending on a variable:

$Certs = @(Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path Cert:\LocalMachine | ?{
	if($SearchExact){
		$_.Subject -eq "CN=$CertDomain"
	}else{
		$_.Subject -match "CN=.*$CertDomain"
	}
});

$Certs = @(Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path Cert:\LocalMachine | ?{

if($SearchExact){

$_.Subject -eq "CN=$CertDomain"

}else{

$_.Subject -match "CN=.*$CertDomain"

}

});
