In the meantime, a workaround for this bug is to do one of the
following:
1. Expand the "Get Software" item in the left panel and choose "Provided by
Ubuntu" (or other child item if desired), and do the search from there.
- or -
2. Choose an individual category that you want to search in from the
Departments panel and do the search from that view.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks!
Btw, the next development release of Software Center (that will include
this fix) will be at or before maverick alpha 2, due on July 1.
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: software-center
When searching for programs, the search results box is blank. The busy
cursor is displayed and search results are never shown.
+
+ Note that this error only occurs when searching from the main category
+ screen. All other views work fine.
