[Bug 455144] [NEW] 9.10 Koala - usability problem with domain of search

[Chip Rosenthal]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kpackagekit

There is a confusing usability problem with the way the search field is
implemented.

The search domain appears to be "All packages", even if you've selected
a different packages group. For instance, if you select the "KDE
Desktop" packages group and do a search, you might think you are
searching within that group but you aren't.

Example procedure to illustrate:

1. Launch KPackageKit
2. Change the package group to "KDE desktop".
3. Do a search on "screensaver".

Note that the results will be all "screensaver" packages, not just those
constrained to the "KDE desktop" group.

See screenshot below.
