Im a Foresight developer and i have the packagekit... trying to get a
Package Browsing..

For each package on foresight repository have a metadata this metadata 
can be or not Empty.

The Metadata its fetch from desktop files so the apps/packages have

{'bibliography': None,
  'url': None,
'notes': None,
'crypto': None,
'licenses': None,
  'shortDesc': None,
'longDesc': None,
  'categories': []} # categories its  a list of category entry
		    #on desktopfile



I have a questions:

pkcon search details [data]

on what part of metadata search ?? shortDesc, longDesc  ?? or shortDesc, 
longDesc and Categories ??


Where i seen the definition of Group ?¿


Where i seen the definition of Categorie ?¿
is Group == Category entry ?
