Right below that is 'Search for products' and 'Featured > products'. Yes, the introductory text is misleading.
not clear how to register my product https://launchpad.net/products/launchpad/+bug/42624 Launchpad home page, misuse of "project" in Support Ticket Tracker intro https://launchpad.net/products/launchpad/+bug/42644

Use title capitalization, or at least be consistent on Lanchpad front page https://launchpad.net/products/launchpad/+bug/42519

Products page and projects page describe the term in different locations (layout). https://launchpad.net/products/launchpad/+bug/42646
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" https://launchpad.net/products/launchpad/+bug/42633

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. https://launchpad.net/products/launchpad/+bug/42519 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 https://launchpad.net/products/launchpad/+bug/42642 'Learn more...' for items on the home page may be a misnomor https://launchpad.net/products/launchpad/+bug/42638 *misnomer Product page should prioritize information and commands better https://launchpad.net/products/launchpad/+bug/29777 -- Peace be in you, Lloyd D Budd http://www.foolswisdom.com/~lloyd/ -- launchpad-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/launchpad-users
