Bug Description
On the home screen of the dash typing in the name of an application which is available but not installed results in a series of (often irrelevant) items from Amazon with no sign of any results from the software repositories.
Steps to reproduce and example of this behaviour
1) Click on Ubuntu Logo to open Dash
2) Type "stellarium"
This results in 2 EPs from the Amazon store.
To get the expected result (the Stellarium package from the Software Centre) you need to click on the applications lens and type in the name of the package.
It doesn't seem to make sense for shopping results to be prioritised over applications and is very user unfriendly and reduces the visibility of Open-Source software packages.
Note this is only relevant for software which is in the software centre but not installed. Installed packages appear as expected.
