GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 781282
Searching by repo name doesn't work
Last modified: 2018-01-24 17:32:39 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.
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"?
(In reply to Richard Hughes from comment #2) > 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.
