Hi Andreas. Thanks for your interest.
How things currently work is as follows: - app-install-data extracts the desktop files from all packages and ships these - software-center will display in the main screen the search results for packages with a desktop file - this is what is happening to gdevilspie - software-center will hide all remaining search results (ie for packages without desktop files) behind a button 'show XX technical items' which is located in the bottom left of the window (it is a known issue that most people don't notice this) - this is what is happening to devilspie2 - if however there is an *exact* match between the search term and the name of a package, then software-center will 'upgrade' it and treat it as if it had a desktop file - this is what happens to devilspie when searching for devilspie -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1055247 Title: Search facility in Software Center misses obvious hit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1055247/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
