Bug Description
Synapse 0.2.6-1+b1 on Debian Wheezy
Hi, when searching for applications, Synapse only returns .desktop launchers that match the query in their "Name[locale]" fields. It could also search for application descriptions ("Comment[locale]" field)
Example:
User wants to ajust his display resolution, types "resolution" in Synapse, gets nothing. He has to actually type "Monitor" (which is the .desktop's "Name" field) to get the launcher, although the .desktop "Comment" field is "Change resolution and position of monitors".
Thanks for the great software;)
