This is due to a change in GNOME 3.22 which started ordering search results by "match value" (essentially a value indicating how well the result matches the search terms). This is generated by a bitfield of metadata items that matched the search terms. Snap doesn't provide this, so the snap results were getting ordered by the fallback sorting field - the app id.
I've proposed getting rid of the default sorting field, thus keeping the snaps in the order they were returned from snapd: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/merge_requests/16 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1746773 Title: Search for Skype in GNOME Software doesn't list Skype as the first match To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1746773/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
