It should be a non issue.
Index the installed apps in the start menu search and make these appear in the search result.
I want to be able to press Win-key -> type "fi" -> press nter to open Firefox.
On MacOS and all Linux distros I`ve every tried, it works flawlessly.
For other (more advanced) search mechanisms, implement these in a designated search option in the taskbar, startmenu, standalone etc.
This means that Microsoft needs to abandon Bing and whatever telemetry they can gather from the user in the start menu search making this unlikely to be the reality going forward.
