Select a category (simply "All" is best if you want to search for something) then just start typing your search.

Just start typing and it will search.

Thanks for the prompt reply

this kinda sucked, most of us have added the extra-devel and extra-testing catalog and so when choosing "ALL", it will take quite a while to load the long list of apps.

I find it much faster to just use the search function but now that it's removed, i have to wait longer by loading "ALL"......of course, you can choose the individual sections to load only items in that particular category/section, but sometimes you don't know which category that the app you want might be in...

I agree, the global search option was pretty neat. However you can always use apt-cache search from the terminal to search from all available packets

I don't see the search option in the app manager menu. I don't understand why do they do this or it's a bug.

Venomrush | # 8 | 2010-05-29, 17:18 | Report

No it's not a bug.
On the list of applications, just type the name of the application instead.
That's now the search function.

Type the name of the app on the app list to start a search.

It isn't a bug, it just works differently now. Just select a category and start typing with keyboard and it starts searching automatically.

EDIT: wow, one minute late
