That sounds good, but I think it would result
in too much duplicated work.

Simply adding a clickable textlabel with "Search for software"
which starts gnome-app-install would be better.

Or having gnome-app-install listed in the applications list
as "Search other applications..."

You can re-assign it if you like.
