There is a search tool for generic Ubuntu (Bionic), in the upper right corner.
No idea what it looks like for MATE, will just let this bug open. ** Attachment added: "software.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1782473/+attachment/5257829/+files/software.png ** Also affects: ubuntu-mate Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1782473 Title: "Software" opens window missing a search widget Status in Ubuntu MATE: New Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The window opened from Menu->All->Software shows the software stores available. When I alunch the first, I get a window showing all applications; but the window is missing a search widget. To look for a specific app I have to step through every app in every category. If there were only a dozen or so apps for Ubuntu that would be ok. Forgetting to add a search feature is a major design error!
