Bug Description

[Impact]
snapd added a new "wide scope" search that finds snaps that do not have stable releases.

[Test Case]
1. Open GNOME Software
2. Search for "Stellarium"

Expected result:
The stellarium-daily snap is shown and is installable (as well as the stellarium-plars snap and the .deb).

Observed result:
Only stellarium-plars and the .deb is shown.

[Regression Potential]
Chance of new parsing code introducing bugs. Change of install code in GNOME Software breaking other install cases.

Hmm. Marking as verification-needed again, because the wide scope searches seems to be returning some strange results.

Will, are you still seeing this issue? I don't think it is related to this change (this only adds an additional flag to be sent to snapd and may cause more results to be returned than before).

I'm trying to remember how the "strange results" manifest themselves. Today, when I search in G-S for "Stellar" I get good results. From what I can remember in BRU, we were getting additional non-matching results. I dont see anything wrong today.

Marking as done again. I think it's OK now.
