Actually, the scope is searching in the (possibly translated) Keywords=
field of the .desktop file. And it's doing partial matches, that's why
it's finding the "External Drives" app when there's a match on "SDCard",
eg:

/usr/share/applications/ciborium.desktop:Keywords=SDCard;Drive;Format

I still think the scope should be looking inside the Keywords field,
because it's not always the case that the user knows the exact name of
the app he's trying to find. But perhaps results should be annotated
with the keyword that was found?

Title:
  Apps search often returns irrelevant results

Status in unity-scope-click package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 15.04 r207

  In the Apps scope:

  1. Search for "me".
  What you get: Camera, Clock, Media Player, Messaging, Sudoku.
  What you should get: Media Player, Messaging.

  2. Search for "ca".
  What you get: Calculator, Camera, External Drives, Phone, Weather.
  What you should get: Calculator, Camera.

  Nobody would ever try to find the Camera app by typing "me", or the
  Weather app by typing "ca".
