Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

To facilitate installing Winget from Microsoft Store, I'd like to suggest that the "App Installer" in Microsoft Store be tagged with winget and/or something similar. This would help users in searching for the tool in the Store. Because right now, searching for "winget" gives irrelevant results. So what I personally have to do is to use a browser to find the link to it instead.

Research direction

The issue names no repository files, tests, or entry points and proposes changing Microsoft Store metadata for App Installer. Start by determining whether the winget project has any path to influence Store tags; done would mean winget is discoverable in the Store search results.
