Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-center
I recently heard about this cool time tracking software called hamster-
applet, so I tried to install it by opening software-center and typed
"hamster" in the search field. But no package was found. Why?
I guess this is an active design decision to keep the browsing
experience sane by only displaying the most popular (desktop?)
applications? But it's getting frustrating when you have to open
synaptic to install some packages, and there is no way to figure out
which packages only synaptic can handle.
Would it be that bad if the search could find any package?
