How does ubuntu find the app name on desktop search?

Majid Alaeinia

I have installed an open-source software let's say with the name of foo. It is installed and I can press the Windows Key and search for the foo and its icon will appear and I can see it on the search.
How about searching it with another key-word? I want to search bar and also its icon of the foo program appears. Where should I modify to do this? Is it the desktop entry file I should modify?

Edit the Keywords field in the .desktop file. For example, in the .desktop file of Foliate ebook reader it is

Keywords=Ebook;Book;EPUB;Viewer;Reader;

Foliate would show up when one searches for any of these in the menu/searchbar.
