See bug 1713931 for how the snaps not working breaks the other search results in the Shell.

This seems to be caused by the way GNOME Software returns the metadata to the search. It looks in a "global cache" which doesn't seem to contain any snap metadata. So the solution is possibly updating the snap plugin to correctly use this cache.

    snap: Use the global cache to store snap GsApp objects in.

    This make the shell search feature work.
