Bug Description

on unity 2d / 11.10 beta up to date as of 17 September 2011, the "more apps" shown at the bottom of any category seems fully random and unrelated to the category, and also appears to change each time the dash home is re-invoked.

For example "dash home" > "more apps" > "accessibility" this time around shows, under "more apps availabe for download":
"magicicada" "mines" "mpong-gl" "camoso" (and two more not shown).

Seems those are all games? Not accessibility?

I could understand a different set of alternatives for download shown on each invocation, but showing apps unrelated to the category seems really weird.

This occurs in Unity 3D as well.

This works fine from 13.04 (probably also in 12.10 but I cannot verify this at the moment), we display top apps (as reported vy Software Center) if the query is empty, otherwise only apps matching the query and selected app categories. Please re-open the bug if you still see any problem with it.
