GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 657331
Impossible to find Banshee in Unity on 11.10 by typing "Music"

Originally reported at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/833610 If you don't know the name of the application, you type "music". 0 installed result. Seems weird :) Suggestion: Change Comment in desktop file from "Play and organize your media collection" to "Play and organize your music and video collection".
Unfortunate indeed, the same thing happens with GNOME-shell. If we do this change, I want to make sure Banshee would still be found when searching for "media". We would still have the word "media" in the GenericName entry, and GNOME-shell seems to also use it to search. Could you confirm that Unity also uses it ? Our .desktop file has "music" in the Categories entry. Maybe that could also be used for the shells for searching ?
Why not: "Play and organize your music and video media collection" - or - "Play and organize your music and video media"
any news for this report?
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
