Muon Discovers should be like the Ubuntu Software center and when you search for a package there should be an option to show all packages. For example if I search for something in Muon Discover it does not come up but if I search for it in Synaptic it will appear and allow me to download it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Muon Discover 2. Search for package Actual Results: The package does not appear and there is no option to show all packages. Expected Results: Either All Packages should show up or at the bottom of the page you should be able to select an option that shows all the system packages.

I agree. 100% matches of technical package names should be shown.

The fix for this bug did not really satisfy users who want Discover to show all packages in its search (even just optionally and off by default). I still hear user requests for this quite frequently. Re-opening fur further discussion. If the feature is vetoed, the bug should be marked as RESOLVED INTENTIONAL with all subsequent bug reports marked as duplicates of this one.
I'd say it should be RESOLVED INTENTIONAL.
:( I'll keep marking bugs requesting the feature as dupes of this.
(In reply to Aleix Pol from comment #9) > I'd say it should be RESOLVED INTENTIONAL. This is inconsistent: non-AppStream packages can be found among Updates but not among installed programs. That means you can update a program that is not there. Developers are happy, everyone else is frustrated.

Now using muon as my primary update tool. Complemented but not replaced fully by discover thanks this decision.
