In software-center trunk r2338, I get these results: "t" - about 7700 results "te" - about 6000 "tex" - about 2400 "texl" - 102 "texli" - 102 "texliv" - 102 "texlive" - 102 "texlive-" - 92
So this bug looks fixed to me. Please reopen the report if you have another example. ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/731193 Title: Incomplete search results Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: software-center Adding more letters to a search increases the number of results, which (I think) should never happen. I discovered the issue trying to install the texlive package and I use it as an example, but the problem is more general. For example using the search string: - 'texl' or 'texli' or 'texliv' the only result is 'Therion Cave Survey Software' (1 result) - 'texlive' the results are 'Texlive' and 'Therion Cave Survey Software' (2 results) - 'texlive-' the results are a lot of packages (part of texlive-full...) (92 results) Like we can infer from the above examples the problem is also that the showed results are incomplete. Searching for 'texliv' should show also the 'texlive' package and probably the texlive-(...) packages.
