Description Elad Alfassa 2013-09-10 09:41:08 UTC 
Right now the search seems to be a simple packagekit-based search. We should use the appstream data for searching as well (appstream contains keywords, user-visible name, and so on)
Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2013-09-11 16:24:28 UTC 
Agreed, this is going to be much faster than PackageKit, although won't return applications installed locally or from repos without AppStream data, so will have to be done in parallel with a PK search.

> although won't return applications installed locally 

We can search inside xmls in /usr/share/appdata as well, so it will return applications installed locally that have installed their appdata correctly. Bonus points if we build a cache of these xmls on startup to improve performance :)

    Search the appstream data for name, summary, description and keywords
