I cannot figure out why certain snaps are not discoverable via the snap store desktop client. When searching for “Qt Creator”, it is supposed to find the snap qtcreator-ros.
When I install “Gnome Software” with the snap and flatpak plugins via deb, I don’t get any snap result for “Qt Creator”. “Ubuntu Software” eventually finds the snap but only in the 9th place. You can easily reproduce this with a Ubuntu 20.04 live system.
@roadmr@kenvandine Is this the intended behaviour? I could understand if there is no sophisticated search, but this even fails to place the exact title string match into the first 3 results. The top 8 results do not have to do anything with Qt Creator or another IDE.
I’m on 22.04 with the version of snap-store provided in 22.04. Please try snap-store from edge? The version from edge is in 22.04 already and we will promote it to stable after it’s been thoroughly tested across distros.
I would be very interested to hear if you have the same problem on 20.04 with the latest snap-store from 22.04.
I updated snap-store to version 41.3 from the edge channel and it does now show “Qt Creator” in the first place.
Overall, the search results are much more reasonable now. If I search for “creator” it will show the same results as before, which contained the USB Creator and Qt Creator etc (as expected). And searching “usb creator” will indeed only show the USB stick creator.
