Settings search: using localised search-terms from windows search

Open mofoni opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hello, i have a request for the settings-search feature:

When you search for Windows-system related programs in the Windows search, you can use the english term or use the localised Name of the App you want.

the localised (in my case german) search looks like this:

searching a synonyme in english (My Windows Installation is set to german in the region-settings):

In comparison, fluent search does not use those localised terms and falls back to web-search:

when searching for a synonyme, fluent search seems to use a different source to compare the search-input to than windows search

Now my request:

Would it be possible for Fluent search (settings search) to use those localised keyword dictionaries from Windows? (I dont know if you can call them like this)

This would help us non-english speaking folks simplify searching with fluentsearch, due to not having a need to translate every single Program we might want to find.

Thanks for your work on this tool and i hope something like this might be implemented in the future 👍

Thanks @mofoni, Windows settings will be auto translated once I add support for German as displayed language
