Bug Description
Jaunty; 2.6.28-11-generic #41-Ubuntu; x86_64
g-a-m ver: 0.5.24-0ubuntu1
TEST CASE:
1. open gnome-app-install
2. search for "abcde"
3. clear the search and verify that no results are displayed
4. restart g-a-i
5. search for chess
6. click on games, click on office, click on games, click on office
7. verify that the list is not empty now when office is selected
8. install the version from jaunty-proposed
9. repeat steps 1-7 and verify that the steps work correctly now
If you search for something that doesn't exist in gnome-app-install and then clear the search (or modify the search), the bad filter remains... and you are unable to find anything at all.
What's more, the search filter seems to conflict with the other filters as well, example:
g-a-m starts.
search for chess >shows chess
switch to office category > doesn't show chess
switch to games > shows chess
switch to office again > shows chess !!
In fact, any category will henceforth show the results of the chess search as if they did not filter at all.
Random behaviour is also seen with the "origin menu": If I search for chess (in [default] all available apps), then switch to third party apps chess is not shown (expected), but if I switch back to all available it is still not shown (unexpected). Henceforth No apps will be found until g-a-m is restarted
Also, after a search is done and cleared, switching between categories causes weird behaviour where "all" will show the filtering from games and other randomities.
[Original desc:]
If I'm searching for example cheese in gnome-app-install. If I make mistake in some letter the repair won't help to find anything.
1. Cheese --> result is OK
2. Cheeese repaired on Cheese doesn't find anything
P.S. sorry for my english, I hope you wil understand the problem

Confirmed.
In fact, if you search for something that doesn't exist and then clear the search, the filter remains... and you are unable to find _anything at all!_
What's more, the search filter seems to completely screw the other filters as well, example:
g-a-m starts.
search for chess >shows chess
switch to office category > doesn't show chess
switch to games > shows chess
switch to office again > shows chess !!
In fact, any category will henceforth show the results of the chess search as if they did not filter at all.

Search is just completely broken!
