Windows Terminal cannot be found in the Start Menu

[DHowett]

Due to a recent product name change ("Windows Terminal" => "Terminal"), you may not be able to find Terminal in the start menu by searching for "Windows Terminal".

We're working with the start menu search folks to make sure that it gets aliased -- that work just didn't land in time for the release (sorry!)

1.13.10336.0 is still called Windows Terminal for me and therefore also can be found in the start menu, quirk on my side or did the rename not actually ship in 1.13.10336.0?

Oh, ok. About window says "Windows Terminal" as well though

I checked the source code and it looks like that is pulled from the package display name. Microsoft Store still lists it with "Windows" on there so it depends when the store page is updated by this team I guess.

Or they may want to decouple those if there's a specific reason to keep "Windows" on the Store name.

There's also a moment after immediately Windows startup/login when Search hasn't loaded the index yet. It's already possible to type in query, but the search always comes out empty. If you immediately type in "Terminal" (or other app name), even if it exactly matches something even in Start Menu, it doesn't get found. If Windows startup is slow for some reason (disk is slow or some heavy apps like browser get auto-started), this makes it quite strange UX (type sth => empty, wait for a few minutes, delete a query, type it again => results). Ideally, Start Menu would immediately load some small index for shortcuts already located in Start Menu and search it first even if the main Search service isn't loaded yet
