Bug Description
When I click on an application in the search results, the profile for the application appears, but the search bar unintuitively disappears. I have to go back to create a new search. There is no need for this, since the screen real estate where the search bar sits is not used for anything else.
version 5.2.3
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04

Hi ferrouswheel, and thank you for your report. Actually, it is by design that the search field is hidden when viewing the details view for a package. The reason is that since you are viewing a single package, there is no "domain" of packages to search over.
This is consistent with the Software Center design specification:
https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/SoftwareCen ter#Software_ item_screen
There is a statement in this section "A software item screen is not searchable. "
Based on this, I'll close this one. Thank you for your help!
