Subject: [PATCH] Change filter box placeholder for main list page only
 (#40799)

## Summary of the Pull Request

Changes the placeholder in the filter box only on the main list page to
"Search for apps, files and commands...":
<img width="786" height="473" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/844d27ae-61cf-42c9-a7f6-ae78817e928c"
/>

The default value remains unchanged as "Type here to search..." for all
other pages (both built-in and internal), unless the author overrides
it:
<img width="786" height="473" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/aeb3500b-9e36-4e35-8dd7-3bd226336823"
/>
