software-center crashed with AttributeError in on_search_terms_changed()

[Kenny Strawn]

Binary package hint: software-center

When I performed a search for packages in Software Center, I got an Apport notification saying there was a crash. However, the Software Center was still running. The search itself crashed, however. It reverted back to the Software Center's main menu.

It was specifically when I changed the search multiple times trying to find what I wanted (a "btrfsprogs" package [something that allows Ubiquity to support Btrfs]). It came up "Attribute Error" and crashed.
