| metadata with powershell Search-Splunk command

I am trying to run the following search, which works fine from the regular Splunk search UI, but not in the Powershell interface...

| metadata type=hosts earliest=-1d

Using the Search_Splunk command I get...

Error in 'metadata' command: This command must be the first command of a search

If I remove the | the script completes without error but no data is returned, unlike in the UI where I get 600+ records.

Any clue as to what I am doing wrong? Greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Thanks, Dan
