Bug Description
Feature missing/requested:
When searching for software in the Ubuntu snap-store via the text search (magnifying glass in the upper left corner of the GUI in Ubuntu 20-04) or when browsing, I would like to filter the results based on the safe/unsafe state.
Examples for that state are "Safe" (green icon) and "Potentially Unsafe" (yellow icon) in the details of the app, after clicking on it.
Background:
In my organization, the IT department only allows users to install software from the Snap Store that is "Save". I can install them by myself, without knowing the root password. However, I cannot install "Potentially Unsafe" software, this prompts for the root password. So when I search for something (like the query 'terminal'), I get lots of results, and I have to open all of them manually to check which one I can actually install. This takes a lot of time and is frustrating, because most of the search results are not relevant.
