Bug Description

It's a bit of a shame that people that know Linux applications don't find them right away after they install stock Ubuntu, just because they were not included in the default install.

Well, unity is supposed to be here to help us, right? It can even help you with shopping, so why couldn't it help you locate new installable programs?

If I don't have The Gimp installed, and I type "gimp" in Unity, instead of just getting books with "gimp" titles, the first result should actually be an original icon of The Gimp, and if clicked, it should open Ubuntu Control Center and take you to the description of the package, so that you can decide to install it or not.
