Details

Searching for "FoxyTunes" with a category filter of "Language Tools" yields FoxyTunes, but it really shouldn't.

wenzel writes, "we have to change the algorithm anyway, so it returns
experimental add-ons along with public ones."
We also need to make sure the dropdown list stays at the same category you selected, much like the search term is kept in the search box already.
Target Milestone: --- → 3.2
Summary: Search terms with non-matching categories yields results for their initial query term, but shouldn't. → Search should obey category selection
Assignee: nobody → fwenzel
