Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Ubuntu Software Center and search for any software, eg. "VLC".
2. Once you see your search results, close the Software Center.
3. Use Applications-
4. Search for another software, eg. "GIMP"
5. Search shows that GIMP can be found from Ubuntu Software Center. Press enter to launch the Software Center.
6. At this point one would expect to land to GIMP's Ubuntu Software Center -page or possibly to a pre-filled "GIMP" search results -page. Instead, you are taken to the previous search result or previous application's page (eg. "VLC").
Just a little something that could improve the user experience, especially for users not so familiar with computers. Thank you for making a great piece of software :)

Thank you for your bug report. Can you trigger it every time? Here those steps open the GIMP details page. Can you maybe make a screencast of the issue?
