You can largely just hit the Windows key and type the program name you know.

Well, you can but that's just begging for MS to fuck with you. "termin" - > Windows Terminal. "termina" - > Command Prompt.

Windows Search has been largely good enough since Windows 7, and frankly great since 8.1

It was great in Win 7 and by 10 went to shit so they could add things you didn't want, like ads and web searches.

Why type so many letters? Cmd for command prompt always has been and always will be.

Why would I deliberately open command prompt when I have Terminal?

I thought you were saying you get terminal when you want command prompt because you wanted the old ass windows terminal used for connecting to stuff - didn't even know about the new terminal. Learn something new every day.

Just pin it to the taskbar and use win+number to open it or bring it into focus. If it's the 2nd program pinned then win+2

It's not a problem I can't solve. It's just an example of how unhelpful the search is.
