GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 657020
Panel descriptions are repetitive and not helpful
Last modified: 2011-08-26 13:01:11 UTC
The panel descriptions should be rewritten. Currently there's a lot of duplication. Wording like "Configure" and "Settings" can be avoided as we're already i nan application that is all about changing settings. Something along the lines of "Date & Time Set the clock and timezone" "Region and Language Set keyboard mappings" These descriptions should be separate and a subset of the keywords list to match.

This is something I had been hoping to do before 3.2. We'll see... ;)
The only 3rd party location for it is gnome-bluetooth. Most of the repetition is actually because we show the matches in the name of the panel as well. eg. look at the "i" of Displays in bold, being matched. I think we should just ditch that. Please file separate bugs for the description fields.
Please file separate bugs for the actual descriptions. commit 93d7d6b6ea93f3b2bcf80d09f065b26083d3c92b Author: Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> Date: Fri Aug 26 13:59:23 2011 +0100 shell: Don't repeat the item title when searching https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657020
