Ok, so, everyone listen up please. There's a bunch of stuff being communicated
all over the place here.
There are a number of problems that can appear with the search, and we need to
take care to make sure we are looking at the right problem.
a) appstream data is not available -> this will yield warnings in newer
versions of discover and result in absolutely no applications showing up
b) appstream data is incomplete -> `appstream cli kittehmonster` on a terminal
will not find kittehmonster, neither will discover, this isn't really a
discover problem
c) appstream data is complete but discover can't find it -> `appstream cli
scan` on a terminal will list skanlite, but discover will not find it when
searching for 'scan'
d) appstream data is complete but discover can't find it *by name* ->
`appstream cli vlc` finds vlc, discover does not

This is bug 333438: there is no appstream data for krita, so krita is not
found. Please sub to bug report 333438 instead.

That in of itself is not indicative of anything. Searching for 'vlc' and 'gimp'
definitely should return something on Kubuntu 16.04, while krita might suffer
from https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360003#c1 so I think your search
might be broken in general. Best way to verify is to search for a whole bunch
of stuff and see if discover finds anything. vlc, gimp, foo, bar, etc. Best
also record the results you get in screenshots and post them.

Bug 333438 is why.

mathojojo apparently can't search for anything, bug 362585 can find some stuff,
so they are likely not the same problem.

Testing on a live USB is likely simply broken because the live session would
have 0 appstream data. To that end this is a by-product of bug 333438 but not
in of itself indicative of anyting being broken. Without appstream data
no-result is the expected result.
