[Bug 797835] [NEW] We should be able to search also for description/tags instead of app name

[Matteo Pagliazzi]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: software-center

Now as now we can only search in th software center for the name of the
app and it's very annoyng if we want to search for a specific type of
software but we don't know the name of the app.

For example if i want to search for a backup software using the keywork
"backup" DejaDump isn't showed in the results because it doesn't include
the word "backup" in its name.

Sorry for my bad english, i'm italian
