Yes, the introductory text is misleading.

The "Welcome to The Launchpad" capitalization is a recently-introduced
inconsistency that I haven't had time to fix yet.

Use title capitalization, or at least be consistent on Lanchpad front page

Projects are actually defined on that page, though maybe you didn't
notice the definition because it's in a box down the side.

Products page and projects page describe the term in different
locations (layout).

That the
form on the Projects page says "Search products" instead of "Search
projects" is a recently-introduced bug.

Search projects field is labeled "Search products"

The Projects page is linked to from the "Launchpad" menu in the top
left corner of each page, as well as from the "Projects" link next to
it on the page for any particular project. It's quite understandable
that you didn't notice either of those; most Web users don't. :-)

Oh, I see now. That is a user interaction bug as it has zero discoverability.

Funny, I actually did a google search on links to the projects search
and could not figure out why there were so many hits. A Find in page
does not find 'project'. I guess I could have looked at the page
source.


Other related bug:

Product search on other services "products" does not result in
Lanchpad being listed
