Alternatively, could the entire online store "library" be cached to user's computers? This should speed up search and there shouldn't be a privacy concern. It could be similar to what app-install-data does. But how much space would this data take? (Drifting offtopic, would it make sense for the Music Store to be part of Software Center?) I suspect that some people complaining would also object to the Apps lens showing Apps Available for Download even though no information is being sent to the web there, just because of the extra clutter. And it's especially annoying to show those downloadable apps to users who don't have admin privileges.
