Bug Description
Binary package hint: transmission
transmission-gtk 2.04-0ubuntu2, Ubuntu 10.10
1. In Ubuntu Software Center's "Get Software" section, search for "torrent".
What happens: KTorrent, Vuze, qBittorrent, FatRat, and BitStormLite appear, but Transmission does not.
What should happen: Transmission appears along with the others.
This seems to be because the word "torrent" appears nowhere in the description: "Transmission-gtk is a GTK-based BitTorrent client. It features a very simple, intuitive interface on top on an efficient, cross-platform back-end." I suggest rewriting the description to concentrate less on implementation details ("GTK-based", "cross-platform back-end") and more on what the program actually does.

I can confirm this behaviour. In fact I only see KTorrent as an option.
I am thinking that this might in fact be a software-center bug as the software-center is responsible for the search functionality.
