Description

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.90.0

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Area(s) with issue?

Command Palette

Steps to reproduce

Open Install Command Palette extensions

✔️ Expected Behavior

see ECP listed https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/blob/master/manifests/l/lin-ycv/EverythingCmdPal/0.1.0.0/lin-ycv.EverythingCmdPal.locale.en-US.yaml

❌ Actual Behavior

ECP is missing Image

Based on the logs, CmdPal only found 9 packages with windows-commandpalette-extension tag

but ECP also have this tag among other tags https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/blob/4df61bf3fb413eb468fba9c2de824df933a993d0/manifests/l/lin-ycv/EverythingCmdPal/0.1.0.0/lin-ycv.EverythingCmdPal.locale.en-US.yaml#L17-L27

@zadjii-msft Looking at the packages that shows up against ECP, windows-commandpalette-extension has to be the only tag? or is there something else that's wrong?

Research direction
Examine the search logic in WinGetExtensionPage.cs, specifically the DoSearchAsync method. Look at how the tag query "+windows commandpalette extension" is constructed and compare the packages returned with the ECP package's tags. The issue may be that the search requires the tag to be the only tag, or there is a mismatch in tag matching. Check the winget package manifest for ECP to see how tags are defined.
