I've just fired up neon-devedition-gitunstable-20180517-1100-amd64.iso

I press Alt+F2 and type

terminal - nothing _installed_ found
console - nothing _installed_ found

How am I supposed to know that a terminal application in KDE is called konsole?

vm with up to date neon-devedition-gitunstable
Alt+F2 type terminal -> Applications->Konsole

Apperently you use a Live Images, because you have "Install System" on your desktop?

Yes, I'm using a live image without installation but then Plasma Application Launcher finds Konsole using both search queries.

"Console" still returns zero results in neon-testing-20200602-1042.iso

Just walked by and saw this issue.

Not sure how much have changed, but at least searching for a 'terminal' now produces intended results: Yakuake, Koncole and XTerm all show up in KDE launcher. Unfortunately, looking for 'console' still gives nothing.

I am sure it has something to do with aliases in their *.desktop files, so we might need to take a look at those.
