Bug Description
Ubuntu 15.04 r207
In the Apps scope:
1. Search for "me".
What you get: Camera, Clock, Media Player, Messaging, Sudoku.
What you should get: Media Player, Messaging.
2. Search for "ca".
What you get: Calculator, Camera, External Drives, Phone, Weather.
What you should get: Calculator, Camera.
Nobody would ever try to find the Camera app by typing "me", or the Weather app by typing "ca".
------ UX Comment ------
This is part of a bigger redesign project (Scopes toolkit and scopes filters) and it can't be fixed as a single bug. The desired resolution and specs will be updated as soon as they are available.

I understand why this would be confusing, lets see how we can fix it.
The technical reason for the matches are because we search for app names, but also descriptions.
Do you have a suggestions on how to handle that?
