F42 Software Center Not Working As Expected

I am faced with problems on a brand new clean F42 installation. Searching for packages that are known to exist in enabled repositories (Chrome, for example), do not appear in Software Center, not even under the “Installed” tab, after having them installed via dnf. Only packages available in Flathub appear and are selectable for installation. I also think that it failed to notify me about system updates, but i am not 100% sure about that, not yet anyway.
