Unable to search as "Terminal" when It is displayed as "终端"

Title: Unable to search as "Terminal" when Terminal is displayed as "终端" Version: 1.12.10733.0 Windows version: Windows 11 workstation 21H2 22000.527 Description:

Once the Terminal upgrade the Chinese language, the name switch to "终端". Then you'll be not able to search it as "Terminal".

For modern UWP application, it usually can be search as English even if it has alternative traslation. the searches of Mail exemplify this situation.

Huh. Good catch. I wonder if there's a way to have other search terms in our manifest that aren't translated. @DHowett You usually know these sorts of things

[skyline75489]

Yeah, this is actually also bothering me. It's much easier to search with "terminal" instead of "终端"

[DHowett]

We're working with the Start Menu search team to make sure that we're set up properly here. Thanks so much for the feedback!

[DHowett]

Unfortunately, we can't add aliases to the app manifest. It's gotta be pushed out by the search service. Yup.

Since 1.12, I always search "wt" to launch Terminal. But "wt" does not have "Run as admin" option in the search result.

(Another workaround is PowerToys Run, which has a Window Terminal plugin.)

Also, If both stable version and preview version installed, "wt" launches the stable version. It seems the preview version does not have its own "wt" in the search result ?

And it would be nice if the search result has profiles listed as options.

You change that under "app execution aliases" in the settings app:

It will for "Terminal", but not for wt.exe. See https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/2339#issuecomment-776047929

In Powertoys Run, I also can't launch Terminal by the name "terminal" on a Win10 PC with Chinese language pack.

The same thing happens in Korean.

Still exists in 22h2.

Reproducible on Windows Terminal 1.17 Preview, Windows 11 22H2

This bug occurred after upgrading to the latest version (v1.17.11461.0) via MS store even if the system language is English, and reinstall with appbundle does no fix

[FrzMtrsprt]

Bump. This issue is still present.

I also face the same issue. My workaround is to add a shortcut into somewhere such as desktop and then pin it to startmenu if necessary. The shortcut can be search by windows search or powertoy run.

1. right click on desktop -> add -> shortcut target: wt
2. just rename the shortcut to Terminal
3. change the icon by terminal.ico from https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/tree/main/res
4. (If necessary), right click on shortcut to pin it in menu

However, it does not list the available profiles (like powershell, cmd, ...) from terminal
