Title:
Software Centre search function is useless for finding packages as
they are hidden under "technical items"
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
New
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.
