Bug ID: 402271
Summary: Searches in Discover do not work as expected.
Product: Discover
Version: 5.12.7
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: shagooser...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Tried to install gsmart control and lm-sensors via discover. I used the search
terms: gsmart amd lm sensor and got no hits. Both packages, with the same
search criteria returned the correct hits with muon.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Discover
2. Type the above search criteria in the search box
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
I have observed 4 different results:
1/ Sorry not found,
2/ The app appears in the Discover window while it is still processing (the
little circle at the middle bottom keeps turning) but it disappears when the
little circle stops turning.
3/ Given enough tries I have actually seen the correct result.
4/ After installing with muon it finds the application as installed.
EXPECTED RESULT
It is expected that the correct result is obtainable with incomplete search
criteria as I have indicated above, ie lm sensor should find lm sensors. It is
not always clear what the repository name is versus the "street" name, this is
quite common in search engines.
SOFTWARE VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.44.0
Qt Version: 5.9.5
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have the correct software sources as the apps can be found via muon. The list
of apps that Discover cannot find is much longer than the 2 I have mentioned
here.
Bug 392521 appears to be relevant and has a status of resolved upstream as at
April 2018. This appears to be incorrect.
