Description Peter Kreuser 2021-01-22 19:55:38 UTC

Source filter in OperatorHub with popover

Description of problem:
Users are not realizing that they can filter via a catalog source because the filter heading is currently "provider type."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
N/A

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Navigate to OperatorHub
2.Note the 'Provider Type' filter
3.Click on an operator and note the 'Provider Type' metadata in the left column

Actual results:
The term "Provider Type" is ambiguous and users don't realize these are actually Catalog Sources.

Expected results:
We should use the term "Source" as this better conveys that these are CatalogSources, without being overly specific that we'd have to change the heading again in the future if CatalogSource is replaced with some other source resource (HubSource?)

We can include a help popover to the right of Source to give more information about this heading as well.
