Status bar doesn't say "___ matching items" for search results

Fixed in my branch

Here is a better patch.

István, that patch changes the status bar text for the lobby screen and department screens too, which is inappropriate. We want the "matching items" text only when showing search results.

It looks to me like the underlying problem is that the status text is defined globally in app.py, when it should be defined separately for separate sections.

* The "Get Free Software" lobby and department screens should have status text of the form "2173 applications available".
  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareStore#Lobby%20screen>
  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareStore#Department%20screen>

* The "Installed Software" main screen should have status text of the form "204 applications installed".
  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareStore#%E2%80%9CInstalled%20Software%E2%80%9D%20section>

* Regardless of section, search results should override the status bar text to be of the form "37 matching items".
  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareStore#Search%20results>

Sorry, I wrote that comment looking at the first version of the patch. The second version is better, though I'm still doubtful about the appropriateness of defining all status bar text formats in a single place. Bug 425876 and bug 432218 make me think they should instead be defined in the code for the relevant Store section.

Setting to confirmed again, the initial fix is not sufficient. I have a look at the second one today.

Hi!

Here is an other way of handling texts on status_bar. It is more abstract and easily maintainable. Let me know your opinions.

This bug was fixed in the package software-store - 0.3.7
