@seb128: Maybe I didn't notice the search being this undiscoverable, or maybe I was using another theme that made it more obvious
@amr: "just start typing" is not a discoverability UX hint. Users don't randomly start typing in dialogs without inputs. MAYBE the keyboard fanatics will try '?', but those use apt directly. IMO gnome-software should be as friendly as possible to people new to Ubuntu. -- 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/1878301 Title: Focal regression: poor discoverability for search in Ubuntu Software Center Status in GNOME Software: Unknown Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I wanted to install a new package. Launched Ubuntu Software and... how do I search for anything? Search is a key function. It should be front and center. I couldn't see it. That was annoying enough that I wanted to file a bug against it. In the process I did notice the lens icon in the top left, but seriously - does that look easily discoverable to anyone? There's usually nothing in that cornerl so users don't look there, and the contrast is poor, which makes it very easy to not notice.
