GNOME Software Center, or Software [1] is the default software installer<br>
for Fedora 20.<br>
<br>
Sugar is not found in a search of Software.<br>
<br>
Richard Hughes, the owner of Fedora's Changes/AppInstaller [2], put out<br>
a call [3] for maintainers to ship an AppData specification [4], so that<br>
Software will find "registered" apps.<br>
<br>
I asked Richard how I could help fix this and this is from his reply.<br>

I assume you want to show the sugar-runner application.<br>
According to<br>
<a href="https://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/screenshots/f21/failed.html#sugar-runner.desktop" target="_blank">https://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/screenshots/f21/failed.html#sugar-runner.desktop</a> it's missing a Comment in the .desktop file that means we just can't show it in the search results. It's also missing an AppData file, so a long description and some screenshots.<br>
<br>
If you fix up the .desktop file, and/or add an AppData file that<br>
validates, then do a build+update for f21 then it should<br>
re-appear in the search results after a couple of days.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
