Right, click the binoculars and select search by details. Maybe we should offer
the user a link in the "no results were found" to search by details, or maybe we
should just do it automatically in this case. Ideas welcome.

Comment 2 Harald Hoyer 2008-05-09 09:44:48 UTC
:-) hmm, yes, not yet intuitive.

How about displaying the search mode like thunderbird/firefox do? 
Light gray text, if the field is empty?

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2008-05-09 09:45:56 UTC
and a dropdown menu indicator next to the binoculars, so people know, they can
change the search mode (which is why _I_ did not think of clicking them).

Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2008-05-09 09:47:18 UTC
also the "Find" button is obsolete, if you can enter "return/enter" in the
search field.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 10:53:20 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Comment 6 Richard Hughes 2008-07-04 10:00:18 UTC
I've added help text in the 0.2.x branch, which should hit F9 any day now.

I'm seeing this in Fedora 10 (prerelease) with gnome-packagekit 0.3.9

I search for "bandwidth" and GUI shows no results while yum finds quite a few:

# yum search bandwidth
