[Bug 833610] Re: Impossible to find Banshee in Unity on 11.10 by typing "Music"

 

unity-lens-applications indexes the X-GNOME-Keywords field, so that
seems like a possibility.

Relatedly; I don't think it is a good idea to match in the Categories
field via text searches (even though it's a trivial tweak in u-l-a). The
Categories contains semantic data and not user content (and is not
translated).

We could potentially index the <Name> of the <Menu> tags in which we
find the apps and attach that to the application. This will just be
pushing the problem around though (Banshee is listed in the "Multimedia"
<Menu> element).

Bug description:
  If you don't know the name of the application, you type "music". 0
  installed result. Seems weird :)

  Note:
  Banshee needs input from the Unity team about whether or not searching in the Categories field(in the .desktop file) is considered feasible, as music is already listed there.
