Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity $ntaccount1 | select Name | Sort Name

The above command displays the Names of all the AD groups an active directory account is in. I tried to add -Filter to the end but it does not work. How can I filter out the results to only display things that contain a certain string?

Edit: I tried one solution posted below but I want the output to be just the AD group without any titles or heading. It currently looks like this:

Name ----- group_here

There's no provider filter parameter for Get-ADPrincipalGroupMemebership, so you'll have to use late filtering:

Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity $ntaccount1 | select Name | Where-Object {$_.name -like '*certain string*' } | Sort Name

Edit - If you just wanted the names:

Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity $ntaccount1 | select-ExpandProperty Name | Where-Object { $_ -like '*certain string*' }| Sort
