[Bug 1454228] Re: Apps search often returns irrelevant results
Btw, the Keywords= fields in existing .desktop files are a mixed bag.
Some have decent content, some don't.
Here is a list of the preinstalled ones in krillin:
English keywords: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11095533/
Spanish keywords: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11095541/
After trying a few searches like the ones pointed out by mpt, I believe
the scope should drop mid-word matches (eg: "ca" should not return
"Authenticator").
But still, I think keyword matches are good (eg: returning "The Weather
Channel" when the user searches for "Forecast"). If results were shown
in a list (like searching in the store scope), perhaps the found keyword
could be shown in a light gray subtitle.
** Summary changed:
- Apps search often returns irrelevant results
+ Apps search results often seem irrelevant
** Also affects: ubuntu-ux
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Changed in: unity-scope-click (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

Confirmed
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".
