Bug Description
To reproduce this, purchase (and install) software in Software Centre. Now, search for the package name exactly.
The same application will be listed twice: once for the actual installed package with no icon; and again with the description you saw when you purchased the software, with an icon and screenshots and a nice description. (I am attaching a screenshot to show this).
This will also happen with a partial match, but then the excess result (for the package) appears under Technical Items.
Some searches that I have verified behave like this:
- bastion
- amnesia
- swordandsworcery
- worldofgoo (though I didn't actually buy this one through SC, so maybe it could be sane in some cases?)
I noticed one exception so far: Limbo. That happens because the package is named ia32-limbo, so a search for "limbo" isn't an exact match for that and a search for the package name doesn't match the fancy description from the store.

Hi Dylan, and thanks for your report! This problem was actually reported separately in bug 969273, so I will mark this as a duplicate of that one. Please note that we have committed a fix for this issue and it will be released soon to both Precise as an SRU and in the next development release in Quantal.
Thanks again!
