How to fix?

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?

I would uninstall and use the flatpak. Way easier than solving dependencie issues
- Installing an optional dependency for an optional feature is hard? What happened to Linux users?
  
  I didn't say it was hard just said flatpaks are easy. Also why don't you post a solution?

  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.

Firefox: is linux stupid?
That's why I use flatpak
Hey OP, any reason you're not using Pipewire?
- only saving time....which it didnt in the end...so, yeah...could have tried that.
