We have an executable file with an installer which generates shortcuts in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs directory.

The name of the software is formatted FOO-Bar. We want users to be able to locate the executable in Windows search by typing FOO Bar or just Bar, but this does not seem to work due to the hyphen in the name. The hyphen cannot be removed due to specific style guidelines.

Is there a way to inform windows search that the executable or shortcut can be found by the other forms of the title? I know something similar is done with Visual Studio Code, where you can locate the same short cut with the search code, vscode, or vs code.
