Windows 10: Add tag to the installed application to enable search by tag

Hi! Maybe silly question but are there any way to add tags to the installed applications so I can search them not by name but by tags?

Specifically scenario - Usually I open an app by pressing Windows button and typing in application name. I have an app "Postman" which is an app for API testing. I always forget its name and I want to search it by "api" or something like that. But I can't find a way to add tag like for files but for an app. There are a lot of other apps with unique tricky names which I don't really want to remember.

tags or title for pictures / photos

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Title is used to get more information about the content, different documents will have different title.

You can add same tags for documents with different title to group them to together, which will help in searching the file with same tags. I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to add tags or title to your image.

Steps:

1. Right click on the Image or photo you want to tag.
2. Select Properties.
3. Select Detail tab.
4. Under Description section, select
   tags or title.
5. Add your tags or title and click on
   Ok.

Note: You can add more than one tag to the same image or photo.

Hope it helps.

It seems that the Windows Indexing Options settings have changed after installing the recent update. To resolve the search result issue, we suggest rebuilding Indexing Options. To do so, please follow the steps provided by
