Description Matthias Clasen 2014-04-04 02:37:15 UTC 
Is this because the packages include multiple desktop files ?
In any case, it is highly confusing, and ought not to happen.

 
arc storage explorer shows up twice in internet -> web browser (it doesn't belong there in the first place

quick shows up twice in addons -> input sources

simplified chinese handwriting shows up twice in addons -> input sources

drumstick virtual piano shows up thrice in audio -> midi

drumstick virtual piano shows up thrice in audio -> music

gnome scale shows up twice in audio -> music

glade 3.8/3.18 show identical descriptions on tile

git dag shows up twice in development tools -> revision control

fawkes skillgui shows up multiple times in development tools -> other

spectrum viewer shows up four times in education -> chemistry

    Use the full AppStream ID when creating results from Search()
    
    Using the short ID means we use the fallback path of the source name, which
    means we get duplicate applications when a single package ships multiple desktop
    files.
    
    Note, packages should really be split up in this case anyway, otherwise removing
    one application may also remove others.
