Command Palette: Consider adding keyword support for searching

[richtabor]

I'd expect that when searching for template I would see all the templates I have on my site, so that I may quickly navigate to a template even if I'm unsure of its name. Perhaps adding keyword support will help surface relative commands.

I would expect these keyword matched commands to show up lower in priority to search matching via command titles though. For example, the existing "Open templates" command would appear higher in the results, above "Index" (which would have a keyword of "template").

Came here to report the same thing as I searched "page template" only to find no results. However, if you just search for "page", you're met with many and need to recognize the icon for Page Template:

Searchable keywords or some other hidden search terms would be very useful.

For example, I was adding a simple math command (repo) that detects when the user enters a valid expression.

Since the search only filters the label, it means I need to add the expression in the label

label: `${search} = ${output}`,

Ideally:

label: `= ${output}`,
keywords: [search]

I see it was moved to the TODO already but how does that work? I can pick this up if it's OK and not already being worked on.

This came up in the twenty fifth call for testing for the FSE Outreach Program:

The command palette ist not satisfying for me. It works , but for me the problem are the keywords. I could not find > top toolbar or list view. As a normal user i would expect a keyword like – list view – should open the list view, or keyword – top toolbar – , should open top toolbar, that does not work for me. It is try and error, like, i try it with – T – or – S – or something like that and i am looking what it shows me 🙂

And once more:

I found the autosuggest/listings to be varied in their accuracy. Some of them didn’t make much sense in their order compared to the actual search query: https://snipboard.io/jnSqNX.jpg

It might also be good to have synonyms for verbs (e.g. add, create, make). So if you type "Create post", it'll still show "Add new post" in the results.
