Bug 452909

Can you please confirm that there is available AppStream information? You can check by running "appstreamcli search subtitle composer".

If it doesn't appear, this is an issue you should file to your distribution.

I checked on a KDE Neon based system and it works alright.

Discover search: subtitle composer

Hi,

This is the CLI output:
---
$ appstreamcli search subtitle composer
Identifier: org.kde.subtitlecomposer [desktop-application]
Name: Subtitle Composer
Summary: Video subtitle editor that supports basic and advanced editing operations
Homepage: https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/subtitlecomposer
Icon: subtitlecomposer
---

Attached a screenshot for: plasma-discover --search "subtitle composer"

Does it work if you quit Discover, re-launch it, wait 10 seconds, and then search for Subtitle Composer? If so, it's the same as Bug 446167 which was fixed with a newer AppStream version.

> Does it work if you quit Discover, re-launch it, wait 10 seconds, and then search for Subtitle Composer?
Still doesn't work, waiting before searching made no difference.
What I find interesting is that searching never returns a result the first time (either "subtitlecomposer" or "subtitle composer"), the gearbox spins forever. If I add or remove a space and search again, it then returns with no results.

Thanks for the info. What version of the "appstream" package do you have installed?

Hi Nate, it's version 0.15.2-2.

Ok, I guess it's not Bug 446167, then.

Can reproduce by searching for "subtitlecomposer", and appstream knows about "subtitlecomposer":

$ appstreamcli search subtitlecomposer
Identifier: org.kde.subtitlecomposer [desktop-application]
Name: Subtitle Composer
Summary: Video subtitle editor that supports basic and advanced editing operations
Bundle: flatpak:app/org.kde.subtitlecomposer/x86_64/stable
Homepage: https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/subtitlecomposer
Icon: org.kde.subtitlecomposer.png

It works if I search in Discover for "subtitle composer", "subtitle", or "composer", though.

Hi Sergiu,

Are you still experiencing this issue?

I cannot reproduce this.

In Discover, I've searched for (without the quotes);

"composer"
"Composer"
"Subtitle"
"subtitle"
"subtitle composer"
"subtitlecomposer"
"SubTItLeComPOSer"

appstreamcli search subtitlecomposer
appstreamcli search subtitle composer
appstreamcli search subtitle Composer
appstreamcli search Subtitle Composer
appstreamcli search SuBTitleCoMpOsER

All work.
