Hi again melchiaros, and thank you for reporting back. I still cannot
reproduce this on my Quantal install. In both searches, the correct
results are returned. By your comments as well, it seems that this isn't
a consistent issue. Possibly this is a result of early development cycle
archive churn. I think we close this and then revisit this situation
around beta time to see if this has settled out, and if it has not we
can reopen this then or just write a new report.
Thanks very much for your help!
Gary

Title:
software center is not able to find many server packages -
DatabaseOpeningError: Couldn't stat '/var/lib/apt-xapian-index/index'
(No such file or directory)
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
The software center search function is not able to find server related
packages.
For example you can give "apache2" to the search field and see that there
will come up no hits.
Or try "phpmyadmin" for database administration.
This can be done with all packages that goes in a more
administrativ/profesional sector of the system.
So, in moment software-center is for those people not a alternative to
synaptic package manager, which has a much more advanced search
function, or command line.
You can see this as wish and mark as such.
