The Launch Pad replacement (named Apps so it will confuse every search engine and AI ever) cannot perform a search for me. Regardless of what I type in the Search area, the result is "No results found." Oh, I just tried one more thing: if I select one of the pre-defined group of Apps, then search does work. But that's not better. Is there something I can do so that it will search across all Apps? I'm using Tahoe 26.0.1. Thanks.

You *probably* need to re-index Spotlight. I've never had to do it but my understanding is that it can fix things like that.

Is that the same IdrisSeabright who completely missed this post and re-posted the same information? Sounds like they may be a bit clueless! ;-)
The bold is appropriate.
Hmmm . . . I can't replicate your issue:
What happens if you try pressing Command + Spacebar and typing in what you are looking for there?

My suggestion is contact the App Developer of the app and pass on you thoughts to them.
Don't use it. Most of the apps I use are on the Taskbar. If I want to open a app I go the the Application folder. A lot simpler than having to use your method.
I can't replicate the problem either. You might try reindexing Spotlight..
Command + Spacebar opens Spotlight and leaves Apps. Typing the name of the application causes Spotlight to ask whether I want to search iCloud Drive, the Web, or ask Siri. I'm glad it works for you. What you're showing is exactly what I would expect.
Launch Pad was great for those applications I seldom use but could start with one click and a few keystrokes.
You mean Apple?
Is "Apps" a Apple app? Never heard of it. Is it in the App Store?
It is the Launchpad replacement bundled in OS26

Sounds like the kind of thing that could work. I'll try and report back later. Thanks.

It can happen. No harm, no foul.
I'll give you the upvote to share the spotlight. 😁
Apps (Launch Pad replacement) can't search
