Title: Software Centre search function is useless for finding packages as they are hidden under "technical items" Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Searching for packages in the software centre gives very poor results. For example, I wanted to install numpy. Search 'numpy': 4 unrelated results that happen to mention Numpy in their description (oddly enough, the numpy package mentions numpy in its description too, but doesn't get returned as a search result). Search 'Numerical Python': 3 new unrelated results Search 'Scipy': 4 unrelated results Search 'Scientific Python': 6 unrelated results Search 'Matplotlib': This one *actually works* and returns a list of all the matplotlib packages. How on Earth is this supposed to be a replacement for Synaptic? I can't find anything I need with it. This is on Ubuntu Software Centre 5.2, fresh install / fully updated Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2.
