But if I see ‘Videos’ in the menu on my friend’s computer and I want to
install it on mine because it looks cool, surely then Totem should
appear when I look for ‘Videos’ in the software centre? It would be
useful if all the keywords used for launcher matching in gnome-shell
were also used for search matching in software centre. I’ve spent too
much time second-guessing package names and descriptions with yum when
trying to install a new application.
