Broken: version: 2.90.0, branch: master, commit date: 2020-08-31 11:26, hash: blender/blender@0330d1af29
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
Search operator can not come up with some add-ons or commands like scatter objects and slice curves , as they don't have an actual clickable menu button or item so they don't show up

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Searching for scatter objects command
Nothing show up though add-on is enabled
Works fine on 2.83

This is technically not a bug, but I'm marking this as confirmed.

Basically in Blender 2.90 only options avaliable through a menu will show up in the search operator F3. The scatter objects command is not avaliable through a menu and thus does not show up in the search window.

A temporary fix for you @Basarchitects would be to enable Developer Extras which allows the search operator to find funtions not in menus. This option can be enabled as follows:

From the top of Blender select Edit -> Preferences.
From the list of tabs on the right, select Interface.
Now enable the option Developer Extras.
Save your preferences. Now you should be able to find the Scatter objects command in the search operator.

@JacquesLucke Tagging you here as you're the creator of the add-on Scatter objects.
