Not trying to impose any opinions here.

The specs clearly state, what the rationale of the smart scopes project
is.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartScopes1304Spec

The roadblock seems to be that the old stuff is kinda hard coded, so is
not such a trivial fix.

I never expected this to get done right away, but there's still a long
road ahead to make the smart scopes results as useful as it was
envisioned.

  Opinion

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

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

  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.
