on unity 11.04,11.10 seraching for "game", "internet" or such generic keywords in the lenses does not show all relevant applications..
this is a showstopper bug for me and other people i talked to
i understand the difficulty of insuffiecient metadata for applications but escpecially for newbys and "non-geek"s this is at least a big MUST.
You DO have descriptions and categories in software center.. can't these info be used in the lens too? |

Desired solution:
Stick to the X-GNOME-Keywords field in the .desktop files, but improve the indexed data.
- Minimally: Assure that key apps have good keywords in their packages
- Best: Get the word out to have upstreams put good data in there. Help upstreams getting this done. |

Also:
12:51:48 <Trevinho> what about not only considering the Keywords .desktop file field (that is alredy supported, for applications that specify it) but also the category of each application?
12:52:23 <Trevinho> I mean, if I search for "internet" or "games", I expect that all the programs under that category are shown into the dash, isn't it?
12:53:39 <Trevinho> Of course, programs that have full matching (ie. name contains that string) would get the priority, but if I search for "System" I expect that all the applications under "System" category are shown, not only System Monitor for example...
13:21:02 <JohnLea> yes considering the category of the application would be an improvement |
