[Bug 1196051] Re: smart-scopes: Software center results do not show up in the home-scope

 

"If a person is really interested in getting something done, he will always find a route, but if he is not interested, he will always bring up an excuse."

Suggested apps and recently used should be divided. Whomever coded it
like that clearly wasn't thinking long term and now is not compatible
with smart scopes and the home lens.

Apps are the main selling point of any OS, so they should always be
prioritized. The "smart scopes" was suppose to threat online results as
if they were local, so App results should be there.

the scopes were suppose to help a new consumer, not confuse them even
more.

I hope the same mistake doesn't get done into Unity 8.

Title:
  smart-scopes: Software center results do not show up in the home-scope

Status in Unity Home Scope:
  Won't Fix
Status in “unity-scope-home” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  No useful (or smart) search results returned for apps not currently
  installed, i.e. Steam, Gimp, etc. to the Home-Scope. However, the
  apps-scope already has this implemented.

  Fix needed: Add useful software center results also to the home-scope
  as per the goal to make the dash searches smart.

  -----------

  original report:
  clean install of saucy, searched for chromium, banshee, etc. on either of these a Info icon for wikipedia is shown or chromium  bookmarks was shown but not the application itself.
