Searching for "wine" returns empty wine package above recommended Wine application

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Ubuntu Software Center 5.0.2, Ubuntu 11.10

1. At the home screen, search for "wine".

What happens: The first result is "wine", which has a boring generic icon.

What should happen: The first result is one of the application entries with an icon. (Not sure which one.)

This is because of the rule that exact package name matches should always be visible and appear first. It's important for people who know exactly what package they're looking for. But in this case, the "wine" package is a dummy package that Depends on wine1.3, so maybe the rule should be a bit more sophisticated.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This appears to be no longer a issue in 12.04. The top hit is the "wine" metapackage that points to the right package.
