GNOME Software Center, or Software [1] is the default software installer

Sugar is not found in a search of Software.
Richard Hughes, the owner of Fedora's Changes/AppInstaller [2], put out
a call [3] for maintainers to ship an AppData specification [4], so that
Software will find "registered" apps.
I asked Richard how I could help fix this and this is from his reply.

I assume you want to show the sugar-runner application.
According to
https://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/screenshots/f21/failed.html#sugar-runner.desktop
it's missing a Comment in the .desktop file that means we just can't show it
in the search results. It's also missing an AppData file, so a long description
and some screenshots.
If you fix up the .desktop file, and/or add an AppData file that
validates, then do a build+update for f21 then it should
re-appear in the search results after a couple of days.
Hope this helps,
Richard

Is anyone already working on this?

I tried to get sugar and sugar-runner added to the gnome-software app a
while ago and was told definitively in GIMPNet #fedora-desktop that it
was not going to happen. Good luck; I would really like to see this happen.
