Title:
  Searching "screensaver" lists xscreensaver under technical items

Status in software-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When trying to install screensavers when a friend was trying ubuntu
  for first time I was shocked to find that a search in software centre
  for the obvious 'screensaver' string yielded nothing. However after
  much other activity and in hindsight I find that a search on
  'xscreensaver' does yield what I was seeking! This is very counter
  intuitive.

  Please fix so that search for screensaver yields results including xscreensaver?
