Bug Description
When searching for 'opera' in gnome-app-install, there's a couple of problems with the results:
o The exact name match (i.e. the opera package itself) is so far down the list (8th place) it's not visible by default. Exact name match should be at the top of the list.
o gnome-app-install seems to be doing searching without any sort of word delineation which is why there are so many search results for 'opera': anything with e.g. 'operation' in the Description is listed. I suppose this might be useful for some search terms and an option to turn this behaviour off may unnecessarily clutter the UI, but it does make the search results quite confusing. (e.g. I can't look at the search results for opera and not help wonder why the heck gthumb is on there)

It gets much worse when universe is enabled as well. Confirming
