Ok, that's still a nogo... I assume that the search is not case

Maybe not... I don't mind using gnome-software as long as I can
figure out
how to make sure it sees the new appdata file.
I'm not actually too worried about the content per se, but I do want
to
verify that the screenshot URL is good and that it looks good.
I had the same problem, I build my package on copr and searched for it
in gnome-software, but it was not found.
After installing it with dnf, it also shows in gnome-software.
I did not try it with a local install.
