Hello mechaiaros, and thank you for your report. I actually just tried
this myself and I cannot reproduce what you are seeing. For both search
cases, I see the correct result appear in the list.
However, looking at your attached SoftwareCenterLog.txt, I can see the
following error reported. This would explain why searching for software
items will not work correctly. Does the problem persist after you stop
and restart Software Center?

** Description changed:
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.
