This is by design: apps in Home should only include installed apps. "More suggestions" in Applications scope is the only place in the dash where additional apps available from S-C should be listed.
While it would be relatively simple to display suggested apps in Home, it would mean they would be mixed together with recently used applications (since in Home results coming from a scope are merged and collapse into single category). ** Changed in: unity-scope-home Status: New => Won't Fix ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

However, the apps-scope already has this implemented. Fix needed: Add useful software center results also to the home-scope as per the goal to make the dash searches smart. ----------- original report: clean install of saucy, searched for chromium, banshee, etc. on either of these a Info icon for wikipedia is shown or chromium bookmarks was shown but not the application itself.
