Description

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!)

Research direction

The issue names no repository file, test, or entry point; first verify whether Start menu search now aliases “Windows Terminal” to “Terminal.” The issue is done only when searching for the former name finds the product, but it notes coordination with the Start menu search team rather than a repository change.
