Bug Description
A user who wants to use IRC should be able to find Empathy as a way to do so. Unfortunately, searching in Ubuntu Software Center for "irc" doesn't return anything that leads to Empathy.
The first result is some client called "tekka" (which crashes on startup); Konversation and Pidgin also make the list, among many others. There is no Empathy, or telepathy-idle (which the Empathy help tells me I need to use IRC in Empathy), or account-plugin-irc (which is from the empathy source package, and which people tell me to install to use IRC in Empathy.)
I'm not sure how Software Center search works, but I expect a suitable tweak to the package metadata would fix the issue.
I'm on 12.10 with empathy version 3.5.91-0ubuntu2.

thanks for the bug report
please confirm this you are searching empathy or irc because irc xchat is also a software for the chat and empathy as well you need to add the account of irc in accounts of empathy
