Help improve our search results!

Ubuntu Software Center uses Xapian to power its speedy and powerful search. But making full-text search work well is still a black art. You can help ensure we’re improving, by compiling here a table of searches, and comparing how well they work in Ubuntu Software Center 1.0.2 (the version in Ubuntu 9.10) vs. versions in Lucid.

(First step: Finish turning this into a proper wiki table.)

If the most appropriate result doesn't show up at all, it might be the fault of the Ubuntu Software Center, or it might be the fault of the package description. If it’s the latter, report a bug on the package and add the “metadata” tag.
