 Description   

When using the syntax "Open x app" in the Find Bar, Magnolia suggests "Press enter to execute command".

This is useful feedback that shows my command is understood. However, any value given as a potential app name is accepted. If I am unsure of the exact name of the app I am seeking, I need to open the grid view to check.

eg. "open story app" encourages me to press enter but nothing happens when I do.
"open stories app" encourages me to press enter and opens the Stories app when I do so.

Also, some mismatches are tolerated. eg. cookie and cookies are interchangeable: both open the Cookies app. Category and categories are not interchangeable.

I would expect the Find Bar to only encourage me to execute a command when it understands what I am requesting.

Confirmed. The command detection & suggestion seems to look after a pattern with 'open someting app'.

For the other part of the problem - the findbar accepts partial matches. So cookie/cookies gives you the same, while category/categories doesn't. Try 'open categorie app' - that works.
