Bug Description

When searching for packages and programs related to Unity, I received several magazine results. I was looking for software only, and the lead line in the search results clearly reports that the results below are "All Software". Non-software results should be filterable or separated by a divider of some kind.

I find this VERY annoying and confusing; especially when you search for software that COULD have been in the Software Centre such as Chrome or Skype.

Also, the description in the UI reads "All Software", and the application is called "Software Center". This is really not helpful at all.
