Yeah, I'm aware of that. I was trying to make a link for the Android
version of my mobile website.

Social hub was right, sort of.

If I want to create a market link that searches by the keyword
"dominoes" and by publisher "Polyclef Software", I have to use the
following:

market://search?q=pub:%22Polyclef%20Software%22 dominoes

The following does not work:

market://search?q=pub:Polyclef%20Software dominoes

It might have been nice for them to include an example for a multiword
search parameter in the documentation. Their only example of searching
based on multiple parameters is this:

http://market.android.com/search?q=world pname:com.android.hello
pub:Android

I still think it's silly that a search based on substrings can
apparently only either search publisher name or app name. The
following link returns no results:

http://market.android.com/search?q=polyclef dominoes

Using the search feature from the Android market, if a user types in
"polyclef software" they get a list of all my apps. If they type in
"dominoes" they get my dominoes app. If they type in "polyclef
dominoes" they get no results. Not so great.
