István, that patch changes the status bar text for the lobby screen and department screens too, which is inappropriate. We want the "matching items" text only when showing search results.

It looks to me like the underlying problem is that the status text is defined globally in app.py, when it should be defined separately for separate sections.

* The "Get Free Software" lobby and department screens should have status text of the form "2173 applications available".

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareStore#Department%20screen>

* The "Installed Software" main screen should have status text of the form "204 applications installed".
  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareStore#%E2%80%9CInstalled%20Software%E2%80%9D%20section>

* Regardless of section, search results should override the status bar text to be of the form "37 matching items".
