Title:
  Ubuntu Software Centre search does not always return installed
  software

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using Ubuntu 11.04 fully updated.
  Ubuntu Software Centre version 4.04

  Problem:

  Sometimes I have to use Synaptic Package Manager, because Ubuntu
  Software Centre does not return a valid result when searching for a
  package.

  Example (how to replicate):

  For example, I install nautilus-dropbox (from the Dropbox website).
  Later, I wish to find the package to check the version, uninstall or
  whatever.

  I use the search bar in Ubuntu Software Centre to find the package. I
  have tried "nautilus", "dropbox" and "nautilus-dropbox". All three of
  those should show the installed nautilus-dropbox package, but none of
  them do.

  Synaptic Package Manager, however, correctly displays nautilus-dropbox
  when I search for it.
