Public bug reported:
When searching for 'opera' in gnome-app-install, there's a couple of
problems with the results:
o The exact name match (i.e. the opera package itself) is so far down the list
(8th place) it's not visible by default. Exact name match should be at the top
of the list.
o gnome-app-install seems to be doing searching without any sort of word
delineation which is why there are so many search results for 'opera': anything
with e.g. 'operation' in the Description is listed. I suppose this might be
useful for some search terms and an option to turn this behaviour off may
unnecessarily clutter the UI, but it does make the search results quite
confusing. (e.g. I can't look at the search results for opera and not help
wonder why the heck gthumb is on there)
