Hi Dan, I second your opinion and will also second your issue added to the Gnome project.
As a 15+ year Ubuntu user it has always surpriosed me that in Software the search was hidden; the only reason I open Software, is to find some program to install. Since I know my way, it never bothered me enough to actually file a ticket. Until today, as it should be my responsibility too, to contribute to the open source projects.

Launched Ubuntu Software and... how do I search for anything? Search is a key function. It should be front and center. I couldn't see it. That was annoying enough that I wanted to file a bug against it. In the process I did notice the lens icon in the top left, but seriously - does that look easily discoverable to anyone? There's usually nothing in that cornerl so users don't look there, and the contrast is poor, which makes it very easy to not notice.
