So I installed Signal messenger and later needed pulse audio and lsp plugins. Now the search in the menu no longer finds Signal in search. :-( I have to go to "Internet -> Signal" to open it.
How to fix this?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

nobody should use flatpak,snap (lennart poettering is an idiot!) and other abominations that break the only relevant dogma. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy
also: the snapd idiot is also responsible for many of the troubles with pulse audio! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennart_Poettering
If Poettering is an idiot, why are you using a systemd distro? Go use Devuan, Artix, Alpine, or Void.
geez, this is one machine on which i want to solve a problem. thats all.
But if you need the help of his code and products, then you should begrudging acknowledge that he is not an idiot. If you truly believe that he is an idiot, you should find a solution to your problem without pulseaudio or systemd because if not you are just an hypocrite.
dude...i am not to deceide what OS is used on some machines. and just because ppl like lennart or bill are shit, doesnt mean at some point i wont be forced to see their crap. they crap is everywhere.
