GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 656975
Search isn't very useful
Last modified: 2011-08-20 23:42:05 UTC
A search for "shell" returns "Arrangement of buttons on the titlebar" and "Shell theme". "Shell extensions" definitely should show up for this search and it's not intuitive why button arrangement would show but not any of the other settings in the shell panel.
Search looks in the gconf/gsettings key name/summary and description fields. It is case insensitive. So within reason, if the descriptions or search results are bad, the gconf/gsettings schema needs to be fixed. I guess I could also look in the '.' or '/' split key name, and maybe the category too.
