Add/Remove For Non-Geeks  
Written by bluecat9 the 29 Feb 08 at 01:30. Category: Others. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Goal: Make searching other repositories easier for non-geeks.

I open Add/Remove to search for software "XYZ"...

Because my software was not found in the default enabled repository I am prompted with a window reading "Ubuntu was unable to locate this software in the Officially Supported repositories.

Would you like to continue your search in other repositories? (Yes/No)"

Choosing "Yes" opens a new window which allows me to select which repositories I want to continue my search in. (universe/multiverse/restricted/etc)

- It would be nice if the selected repositories were remembered for next time.

- It would also be nice to have an option to automatically search my selected repositories without being prompted.

Thank you.
