Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the search examples in PowerToys Run with the Windows Settings plugin enabled, then compare its results with Windows Search for terms such as “network” and “partition.” Done means Windows System Apps and Control Panel access can be found and launched from PowerToys Run.
