For me NFS seems to match nfs-common (it is the fourth element in the
search results), however it's not shown by default, I had to click Show
technical items on the bottom of the pane to see it, otherwise I had
only three results, and nfs-common was not there. Did you try the show
technical items link in the bottom left corner? If you did try it and
you didn't see nfs-common, this is a strange issue (as it happens for
you, but it doesn't happen for me), but if you didn't try the link, than
you probably have the same issue as the one reported in bug #985963.

Title:
Search misses matching packages
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I 'm having a NFS problem after upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10 so I
searched for "nfs". I get a few matches but nothing helpful. Finally I
found what I needed, the nfs-common package. Searching for "nfs"
(without the quotes, obviously) doesn't match a package named "nfs-
common"??
