Title:
  Incomplete search results

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  Adding more letters to a search increases the number of results, which (I think) should never happen.
  I discovered the issue trying to install the texlive package and I use it as an example, but the problem is more general. For example using the search string: 
  - 'texl' or 'texli' or 'texliv' the only result is 'Therion Cave Survey Software' (1 result)
  - 'texlive' the results are 'Texlive' and 'Therion Cave Survey Software' (2 results)
  - 'texlive-' the results are a lot of packages (part of texlive-full...) (92 results)

  Like we can infer from the above examples the problem is also that the showed results are incomplete. Searching for 'texliv' should show also the 'texlive' package and probably the texlive-(...) packages.
