@andrijapanicsb , as searching for "vCenter 6" gives "vCenter 6.7" as a result, I think the "issue" is '.' having a special meaning
If so, did you try searching for "vCenter 6.7" or "vCenter 6?7"?

[andrijapanicsb]

Alright, I did some more digging:

Template details:
Name: vCenter 67u3 (no dot in the name)
Description: vCenter 6.7u3 (has a dot in the name, don't ask me why 🤷‍♂️ )

The problem is the discrepancy of what we SHOW in the "images/template" list of templates vs. the list of templates in the New Instance Wizard:

• When you go to Images/Templates - and search for the image, you are SEARCHING by name (not description) and you get the template's NAMES (not descriptions, which I think makes sense)

• When you search for templates in the new Instance Wizard, it seems that the DESCRIPTION is shown, not the NAME - and this might need fixing.
  
  (I've here searched by the NAME of the template (vCenter 67u3) and I got result vCenter 6.7u3 (with the dot, which is the DESCRIPTION value)

shouldn't this be a keyword search that would match both name and desceription @andrijapanicsb ?

Since for some silly reason we have 2 fields for the same thing - I would say "yes', but that then, removes unique results. so I guess another opinion is needed.

from the code, only check template name by keyword

        // other criteria

        if (keyword != null) {
            sc.addAnd("name", SearchCriteria.Op.LIKE, "%" + keyword + "%");
        } else if (name != null) {
            sc.addAnd("name", SearchCriteria.Op.EQ, name);
        }

        SearchCriteria.Op op = isIso ? Op.EQ : Op.NEQ;
        sc.addAnd("format", op, "ISO");

        if (!hyperType.equals(HypervisorType.None)) {
            sc.addAnd("hypervisorType", SearchCriteria.Op.EQ, hyperType);
        }
