Hi Sieghard,
i was thinking along the lines of more general or category, searches.
let's say you want to find out whether FM radio apps exists for iPhone.
(They do; several hundred, anyway.) So you'll then decide, either to
narrow down your search, or trawl through all, or give up. So yes, you
still might want to do a google- type search for apps of a particular
type, not yet (at this point) a specific app, until you're more informed
on what's available.
BTW, there is no a in my name. And, I'm male.
Flor.

Subject: RE: Any syntax towards refining your search in the App Store?
Hi Flora,
I don't think there is anything like that when it comes to searching the
app store. Keep in mind that searching Google is quite different as you
get so many more results. If you search for an app in the app store on
your phone, all you get are app results. I also find it useful at time
to just use Google if I want to look up information about an app I read
about or maybe I want to know how much it costs. I just type the app
name into the Google search box followed by "on iTunes" or "in the App
Store". This will usually give me a link to the Apple app store as the
first sponsored result and most of the time the link I want will be the
first search result of the main search results. If I really have
problems finding a particular app in the app store on my phone I usually
try to find it as I described above, then I can check the name of the
developer and use it to search the app store.
It's also important when you search in the app store to double tap on
"Search:" at the bottom right of the keyboard. Quite often if you check
the quick results as you are typing an app name it doesn't show
anything, but as soon as you tap on the search button the app then is
easy to find.
Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: Any syntax towards refining your search in the App Store?
Hello,
Google Help (and that of yahoo, et al.) offers hints and tips on how to
improve one's search queries so that one may get results more closely
matching what is being sought. (For example: This could include putting
a phrase in quotes so that only the key phrase - exactly as typed -
appears in the results; or, it could exclude a word from the results by
prefixing it with a - minus sign.) Does Apple's Store have any
equivalent guides? So as to cut down on clutter and possible
irrelevance, such modification suggestionss may be useful at the start,
instead of using rather general (but unavoidable) search terms which
generate hundreds or thousands of results in response.
I hope my question is clear enough, to those who know what I'm on about.
