Bug Description
When searching for "workbench", mysql-workbench doesn't show up, but svn-workbench does. Not sure what exactly is the problem, but I don't think it's supposed to be like that.

Hello Mister X, and thanks for your report. Actually, as the mysql-workbench is not a desktop application, it is now shown by default. If you click the "Show NN Technical Items" link at the bottom of the Software Center window, then you will see the package.
I have set this bug as a duplicate of bug 985963, as others have reported the same difficulty (not noticing the "Show NN Technical Items" link). Our design team is currently evaluating this issue.
Thank you again!
