Search on launchpad page should search for title, info text and labels

Currently the search on the launchpad is only searching for app titles - this is not sufficient as users may not know the title.

I.e. searching for reporting should find tableau as reporting application.

Please also consider this proposal to improve the search experience for Launchpad Apps in the regular Confluence search:

Olaf Stehr: Thanks for your suggestion; I saw the other tickets you opened the other day.

Since we are a bit hard pressed with our capacities at the moment for the upcoming releases, we decided to first implement a very lightweight approach that will improve searching within the Launchpad itself. Using custom content types would have meant a lot more development work and possible side effects. But that doesn't mean we won't consider it ever. Just not for the upcoming release :)

If all goes to plan, this will be available with Linchpin Suite 5.6 / Linchpin Launchpad 2.7, both scheduled for late March 2023.

Merged in a post:

Confluence Search should also search Application Labels

Julian Reich

Now confluence searches only the titles of the apps. Labels should be searched as well. As there are a lot of synonyms this will greatly increase the findability of apps.

would be also great to have the app icon shown in the search results
