[Bug 842726] [NEW] Whole words in search are no longer treated as whole words

 

Public bug reported:

software-center trunk r2261, Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1

Based on sc-004 <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#searching>:
1. From the home screen, search for "stella".
2. Add a space, "stella ".

What happens:
1. "Stella", "Stellarium", and "StarPlot", among others, appear as results.
2. Exactly the same results.

What should happen:
2. "Stellarium" and "StarPlot" are not returned as results, because they don't include the word "stella".

This is a regression.
