Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-store

Ubuntu Software Store 0.3.4, Ubuntu Karmic

Adding more words to a search increases the number of results, which should never happen.

For example, searching from the main "Get Free Software" screen:
* "video" has 118 results, but "video player" has 200
* "codec" has 21 results, but "audio codec" has 155
* "vector" has 22 results, but "vector graphics" has 115
* "gstreamer" has 25 results, but "gstreamer plugins" has 88.

---------------
software-store (0.3.9) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * softwarestore/view/appdetailsview.py, data/templates/AppDetailsView.html:
    - add basic license information to each package
  * softwarestore/app.py:
    - set default focus on the search entry and focus categories
      ("departments") on key-down (LP: #433828)
  * data/templates/CategoriesView.html:
    - arrow key navigation added (thanks to Stuart Langridge)
  * softwarestore/db/database.py:
    - move query parser code into a proper place and default to
      AND for multiple search terms (LP: #432978)
    - support boolean expressions in the search terms (AND, OR, NOT)
  * disable warning if a package gets removed that another package
    recommends (its not part of the spec how to handle this)
  * softwarestore/db/update.py:
    - do not fail if no locale is defined (LP: #434699)

  [ Andrew Higginson ]
  * debian/control:
    - add python-gconf dependencies (needed in the image fetch code to
      get the proxy from gconf)
  * softwarestore/view/appdetailsview.py, softwarestore/view/dialogs.py:
    - make the remove dialog conform to the spec
