(Get the code!)
Design-wise, I'd prefer Slingshot to search not yet installed applications when I enter something in the search bar. For example, if I type "GIMP" on a clean system right now, I get nothing and have to go to software center, re-type "GIMP", click install, wait for it to complete, close software center, go to slingshot again, type "GIMP" again, click it. I believe this could be streamlined a lot by searching not yet installed applications and showing them *after* the installed ones with "More info..." and "Install" buttons on it, for people unfamiliar and familiar with the program, respectively.
Such functionality is much more relevant to an application launcher and leaves no room for Synapse, thus I believe that Synapse belongs to its own indicator.
