Title:
  Search for application title not working for extra repositories

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If you add an extra repository (like for instance the Orcale repository for VirtualBox) and you search for the application in the software center by app name, the application is not found.
  If however you search by package name, the application is found.
  Also, if you specify to search in the added repository (e.g. Oracle Corporation) instead of in 'All Software', the application is found correctly, both by name and by package name.

  Steps (Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit):
  1. Add extra repository (e.g. Orcale VirtualBox repository)
  2. Open software center
  3. Search for application available in extra repository, by application name (e.g. virtualbox)
  4. Application is not found in 'All Software' category (e.g. only virtualbox from ubuntu repository is found, not the one from the Oracle repository)
  5. Search for same application by package name (e.g. virtualbox-4.1)
  6. Application is found in 'All Software' category
  7. Search for application by application name in the extra added repository (e.g. Orcale Corporation)
  8. Application is found in extra added repository category

  Expected behavior:
  Step 4 should also show the application in the 'All Software' category, as it does for all other software from the standard ubuntu repositories.
