Public bug reported: The software center search function is not able to find server related packages.
For example you can give "apache2" to the search field and see that there will come up no hits. Or try "phpmyadmin" for database administration. This can be done with all packages that goes in a more administrativ/profesional sector of the system. So, in moment software-center is for those people not a alternative to synaptic package manager, which has a much more advanced search function, or command line. You can see this as wish and mark as such.
