Searching is too locale-specific

[aleixpol]

It seems many apps translate their name, this works alright and it must have some advantages, but it makes certain products hard to find.

See how it was described here:

This is a very weird bug... We should probably explicitly add the english project name to the index, but in case of GIMP, GIMP has a <keyword> tag with GIMP so it should always be found.

So, I think for the bug you linked there must be something else wrong as well...

Oh, in addition the English name for GIMP also doesn't include the term "GIMP" ;-)
So, the issue in the bug report you linked is clearly something else or has already been fixed (would be interesting to know the user's AppStream version).
