I write lots of little test apps on my devices. Is there some metadata I can add to the app so it appears more readily in Spotlight searches?
For instance, I made a laundry timer app named Lavado
Can I make it appear in Spotlight searches when I search for "timer" or "laundry"?
This is not for the Apple App Store, just on my devices.

To do this, open the “Settings” app and go to the “Siri & Search” section. Here, scroll down until you find the app that you want to remove from the Spotlight search results and then tap on its listing. Now, select the toggle next to the “Show In Search” option to remove it from search results.
Go to the Home Screen, then swipe left past all your Home Screen pages to get to App Library. Tap the search field at the top of the screen, then enter the name of the app you're looking for. Or scroll up and down to browse the alphabetical list. To open an app, tap it.
When you find your desired app, tap and hold on its icon and drag it towards an empty space. The Spotlight screen will disappear in a moment and when it does, drop the app's icon anywhere you wish on your iOS Home Screen.
Spotlight searches both names as they appear in SpringBoard (your home screen) and their full App Store names.
So if your application full name is "Lavado timer laundry test" it will appear when you are lookin for "timer" for example (Your spring board name can still be "Lavado").
