Description Allan Day 2017-04-13 17:10:17 UTC
I've tried searching by the name of various repositories that I have installed, both regular package-based ones as well as flatpak ones. Either nothing is returned, or I only get results where the search term matches an app in some way.

Being able to search by repo would be really useful.
Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2017-04-14 15:32:36 UTC
Would searching for "fedora" return you every application available in Fedora repos? At the moment we add the source name as a keyword (just for package-based apps tho) for any source that contributes < 10% of apps in the system as a bit of a heuristic. See https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/tree/plugins/core/gs-plugin-appstream.c#n308 for the logic.

Note: this is broken at the moment -- this is fixed by: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/commit/?id=d5579682d82b00039d8f24ea87e0d206492375dd which can be backported easily.

I'll have a think how to do the same thing with flatpak sources.

Allan, also, do you think searching for "nightly" should show all apps from "gnome-apps-nightly"?

And if we do this, searching for "gnome" returns over 900 results as every gnome shell extension is shown.
