Hi mpt, I wonder if we could get your take on this. It seems that the
"Technical items" link may still not be noticeable enough. What does
user testing show for this case?
Thanks!

Title:
Software Centre search function is useless for finding packages as
they are hidden under "technical items"
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Searching for packages in the software centre gives very poor results.
For example, I wanted to install numpy.
Search 'numpy':
4 unrelated results that happen to mention Numpy in their description (oddly
enough, the numpy package mentions numpy in its description too, but doesn't
get returned as a search result).
Search 'Numerical Python':
3 new unrelated results
Search 'Scipy':
4 unrelated results
Search 'Scientific Python':
6 unrelated results
Search 'Matplotlib':
This one *actually works* and returns a list of all the matplotlib packages.
How on Earth is this supposed to be a replacement for Synaptic? I
can't find anything I need with it.
This is on Ubuntu Software Centre 5.2, fresh install / fully updated
Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2.
