I agree. It makes sense just to turn this into a wishlist bug. Done.
Development is entirely done so no upstream bugs reports needed. At this
point, we simply wait. Thank you for the suggestion!

Importance: Undecided => Wishlist
** Summary changed:
- Search does not find mariadb
+ with no result search, message about expert mode should be displayed
** Description changed:
- Search does not find mariadb, mariadb-common, mariadb-client and seems
- nothing with mariadb. The search does find mysql packgages when search
- string is mysql.
+ Expert Mode makes a lot of sense for novice users. It keeps them from
+ finding an enormous list of spurious packages that don't relate to what
+ are likely their general needs.
- I was expecting to be able to find the mariadb packages and install them
- from Software Center.
+ However, it is not obvious that Expert Mode even exists, especially with
+ the option being hidden in preferences. The most reasonable place to
+ draw attention to it is when searching for packages.
- sysman@ada:~$ lsb_release -rd
- Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
- Release: 14.04
+ If a message about Expert Mode was included in the search results, this
+ should draw everyone's attention if they don't find what they're looking
+ for.

+ Think about Gmail. This is how they deal with deleted/spam messages.
+ They are not shown in the search, but an option to look at them exists
+ at the bottom.
