** 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. + - Minimally: Assure that key apps have good keywords in their packages + - Best: Get the word out to have upstreams put good data in there.
