Description Alexander Veit CLA 2016-09-23 03:22:27 EDT 
The term marketplace cannot be found by the perferences dialog search box even thoug there are marketplace options.

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=502040
Comment 1 Lars Vogel CLA 2016-09-23 03:27:33 EDT 
Marketplace should add the search term to the File association preference page.
Comment 2 Mickael Istria CLA 2016-09-23 11:20:29 EDT 
can we add a search term externally or dynamically? As the page doesn't depend directly on marketplace, we'd rather not add the tag directly on that page - which may not include the marketplace option.

From what I can see in WorkbenchPreferenceExtensionNode.getKeywordLabels() and the org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages and org.eclipse.ui.keywords extension point definitions, there doesn't currently seem to be any way for extenders to associate new keywords with an existing preference page.
Comment 4 Carsten Reckord CLA 2017-05-31 08:53:08 EDT 
In Oxygen, we added a preference page for the Nature discovery feature, which includes a pointer to the File Associations preference (see attached screenshot). I've added the "marketplace" search label to that page, so the preference is somewhat findable.

Closing this as fixed. Since we can't contribute search labels to existing preference pages ourselves, this is as close as we'll get right now. I've opened bug 517536 to allow plug-ins to contribute keywords to preference pages externally.
