Ah, seems to be a bug(?) in GNOME Software - it's only actually throwing away any search word less that 3 characters. So the search "oh my" is rejected because none of the words are long enough. "oh my gir" would just search with "gir".
I would have thought having a total number of characters more than three should be sufficient. Note the reason for the limitation is for the appstream search functionality (too many matches with a small number of characters). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724489 Title: Searching for "oh my" returns zero results but "oh" does Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: This seems to be related to the key being searched in G-S. There is a snap called "oh my giraffe". When you click on the snap to show the details page the two titles at the top of the screen show "oh my giraffe". However, this only shows up in the results when you search for "ohmygiraffe" or "oh". Searching for "oh my" (note the space) returns zero results.
