I'm not complaining about the indexing (you can start the indexing by starting spotlight on and off). I'm complaining about having to search for "ghos..." instead of "term...". Because I don't don't like to remember the specific app name. But this complaint is the same for everything; when searching for Excel, I would like "Numbers" to also show up in the results. When looking for vscode I would like "Visual Studio code" to also show up, but I need to type either code, visual or studio.

Sounds like a feature request for spotlight to add aliases or tags. Personally I always keep a terminal open.

Huh, you've got me curious, and the Windows start menu does in fact launch Visual Studio Code when searching for "vscode." Color me pleasantly surprised!
