I am not overly keen on using the description from the software center. As it stands many of the descriptions there are of poor quality to "normal" users. They seem to be written to other packagers. This can change of course. (and are those descriptions translated?)
A simpler solution would be to just use X-GNOME-Keywords which we do support in unity-lens-applications (as I also mentioned in bug 833610). ** Description changed: on unity 11.04,11.10 seraching for "game", "internet" or such generic keywords in the lenses does not show all relevant applications.. this is a showstopper bug for me and other people i talked to i understand the difficulty of insuffiecient metadata for applications but escpecially for newbys and "non-geek"s this is at least a big MUST. You DO have descriptions and categories in software center.. can't these info be used in the lens too? + + Desired solution: + Stick to the X-GNOME-Keywords field in the .desktop files, but improve the indexed data. + - Minimally: Assure that key apps have good keywords in their packages + - Best: Get the word out to have upstreams put good data in there. Help upstreams getting this done. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/810412 Title: searching for generic keywords in unity lens doesn't yeld (all) results To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/810412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
