Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.8.1521.0

Other Software

Windows 10 21h1

Steps to reproduce

[win] + [s], "terminal"

Expected Behavior

Show window terminal [for me it doesn't show up at all in windows search, let alone at top.] (would also be nice to replace Command prompt in start context menu]

Actual Behavior

Shows command prompt, node.js, random folders and files with terminal in their details....

Yeah, this one has plagued us forever. We're actively working with the team who owns Start Menu search to get Terminal prioritized 😄

It seems to be an issue with Windows store apps in general, even if you go to shell:AppsFolder and manually create a shortcut, and paste it in the only indexed directory, it still ignores windows terminal.
