There is no component files for i386 on amd64 in /var/lib/apt/lists/
If you download the corresponding dep11 files and refresh appstream cache then
a search returns the right results.
Adding a task for apt which is responsible for downloading these files.

Bug description:
I noticed the following community member had a problem installing
steam. I reproduced it on 16.04.3 clean install i386 and amd64.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24NH3Ry22Dg
Install 16.04 amd64 or i386
Install all updates via software updater
Open Ubuntu Software
Search for steam.
No results for Steam found.
Yet steam is in the repository as an i386 deb - but it doesn't show up in
Ubuntu Software on either amd64 or i386 installs.
