Bug description:
  As discussed in bug #739469 "Dash search unavoidably returns offensive
  results" the Apps Available for Downloads section can contain apps
  that may offend different demographics. Apps can be offensive because
  they are explicit such as PornView or because of religious reasons or
  other.

  It's probably an impossible task to come up with something that is
  100% safe all of the time, but we should at least reduce the risk of
  embarrassing moments to an absolute minimum.

  One solution could be to have the popcon ranking from the Software
  center index influence the weight of the document.
