Description

The search for apps only works if you have NOT selected either “Discover” or “App Bundles” in the menu on the left. Only then will the search result be displayed as “Results from other categories”.

Nextcloud Hub 10/31.0.5.

Steps to reproduce
  1. As Admin go to "Apps", then “Discover” is automatically highlighted in the menu on the left
  2. Click on "Search" and search for an app
  3. Nothing happens
  4. Same on "App Bundles"

Research direction

Start from the Apps administration flow, with Discover and App Bundles selected in the left menu, and trace how the Search action handles those categories. Reproduce the empty result with an app search, then verify that matching apps appear while either category is selected and that the existing “Results from other categories” behavior still works.
