How do I search for an app in the Apps window?

\n

Short answer: Start typing as soon as the Apps window opens — the search box is already focused and the grid filters instantly. Press Return to open the highlighted match.

Just start typing. The search box is focused as soon as the Apps window opens, and the All Apps grid filters with every letter. The best match is highlighted, so pressing Return opens it.

If nothing matches, the grid says so ("No app matches …") rather than showing an empty space. Clear the search to see every app again.
