App Store 'Search' doesn't return anything

Using an iPad 2 updated to iOS6 when accessing the App 'App Store' on entering a valid question such as YouTube into 'Search' a list is produced.
Clicking on any of the options offered returns a white screen with just 'Cancel' in the top left and the 'Search' (including entered search data) in the top right.
I have tried restarting the App, signing out and back into iStore, doing a hard reset (full power down and back up), have cleared and re entered wifi connection information (even though all other aspects on the iPad 2 fully function). I cleared Safari Cookies and History, I've even reset the wifi router all to no avail.
With in the App, 'Featured', Purchased', Updates, etc. function normally.
Anyone have other ideas? It's as if Apple is blocking any returned search information.

I'm having a very similar (or maybe the same) problem. Let me explain in detail and maybe someone, somewhere can help me.
1.) I created and exported to iTunes a podcast called Studio 60Cast (for the new show Studio 60) using GarageBand.
2.) I created and published a website with iWeb, and published the first and so far only episode of Studio 60Cast to that site.
3.) I submitted the RSS feed (which, yes, worked when I tested it), and it only shows up on the store when I search using the exact words: Studio 60Cast. It does not come up when I simply search for Studio 60 (meaning, in podcasts, a bunch of one's that AREN'T MINE show up).
4.) What might be the problem is that the author is listed as "unknown." Can anyone give me a step-by-step set of instructions on how to fix this?

App store search always returns to first page

When I search the app store I am always returned to the 1st page after viewing an app description. This is very frustrating especially if there are hundreds of pages. Is there a way to get around this?

I don't know if you noticed the small left-hand arrow head on the left-hand side of black menu bar? It took me ages to notice this..

What have to do to solve this problem?

You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software, if you know what it is, according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.

I have face time installed on my iMac but when I go to the app store it doesn't show installed and has a.99c price. All other apps show installed. Is this an upgrade?

The first thing to do: Make a backup of your iPhoto Library. Don't update iPhoto without having a backup of your iPhoto library.
When I tried I received the following message This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
This error message means, that you did not yet associate your copy of iPhoto (preinstalled on your Mac) with your AppleID by clicking the "accept" button at AppStore "Purchased" page.
First try to "Accept" iPhoto on the Purchased tab and try, if you then can update iphoto from the Updates tab.
Now check the "Purchased" tab. Is iPhoto among your Purchases to "Accept" or "Install"? Then accept and/or install.
If it is not possible, delete iPhoto from the Applications folder .
(don't empty the Trash).
If it is not among your Purchases, open the AppStore main tab, search for iPhoto using the Search field, and buy it from the AppStore. If you already owned any version of iPhoto '11, this purchase should be free, from earlier versions it may be a paid upgrade.
If all fails there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
I can delete the existing software and re-install but I don't want to lose all my photos.
Your photos are in your iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder and not in the iPhoto application. Just back up the iPhoto Library as a precaution, but reinstalling iPhoto will not delete your iPhoto Library.

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.

The App Store search has stopped working since I updated to 8.2 on iPad

Hi
since I updated my software to 8.2 on my iPad the App Store search has stopped working but other features work on the App Store only the search option is not responding and says " the App Store is temporary unavailable please try again later "
I have turned my iPad off and on couple of times but with the same result each time.
the 8.2 update is for the new Apple watch and health app.
can any one help?

Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
Do not change your settings.

I cannot change apple id when the app store asks me to update anything

i cannot change apple id when the app store asks me to update anything

App Store products can only be updated by signing in to the store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to download them. You can't update anything, including your own purchases, as long as there are pending updates linked to the other ID.
If you can't sign in with the other ID, you have to delete all the apps that are linked to it. If you don't know which apps those are, see below.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Delete each such item by following the instructions in the Apple Support article linked above.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

Everytime i try to open the mac app store it doesn't connect

I've just downloaded the new ios x software mountain lion. I am trying to get a few new apps from the mac app store. However everytime I open the mac app store application it dooesn't start and the error. "cannot connect to the mac app store" appears. Does this have anything to do with Apple currently updating the system or is there really a problem. If there is then can somebody help me out getting it working.

I had found this when I had the same problem:
Close the App Store (make sure to Quit)
Open Keychain Access from the Applications > Utilities folder
Click on System Roots on the upper left panel
Click on Certificates from the lower left panel
Scan through the list of certificates on the right and look for any with a blue “+” symbol overlaid on the icon (these have custom trust settings, which might be wrong).
For some reason just setting them to Use System Defaults doesn’t make the settings apply, so repeat the following steps for all certificates with the blue “+”
Double Click on the certificate to show the info panel
Click on the triangle next to Trust to reveal the Trust settings
Change the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) setting to No Values Specified
Close the info panel, you should be prompted for the administrators password.
Double Clock on the same certificate again
Expand the Trust settings
Change the When using this certificate setting to Use System Defaults
Close the info panel, and again enter the administrators password.
Repeat this for all of the certificates with the blue “+”
When done, restart the App Store and see if you can access Updates.

App Store Searches vs. iTunes App Store searches

Why do searches suck so bad on the App Store and return COMPLETELY different results than searches on the iTunes App store? Not only that, they don't even return a tenth of the apps available!

hmm, so the mac app store is different than the itunes app store and not synced with each other? that explains a lot, thank you!
maybe they should name it something different?
or explain better that it has nothing to do with iTunes App Store, and that these apps are not for any ipod/itouch/ipad device, and strictly for the computer?
Confusing at first, but now that you've explained it, I get it.

App store search not working with IOS 6

Ive seen this problem here but Iv'e found no solutions. please advise. The search feature worked the 1st day, now it doesnt

Oddly I have not done anything and for whatever reason my app store now works. I can search and the whole thing functions. I did nothing along the ways of resetting. It looks totally different, and I did not get back my YOUTUBE, but am glad that I did not have to reformat and reload everything. I did try pushing the two buttons to turn it off and get the apple sign and wait to turn it back on. I did that several times but that never worked. I was ready to refomat when I got some extra time, but for now do not have to. It is working fine, and the new appstore is pretty cool. So, I dont know what happened. it did not work for about four days - but is now back functioning perfectly, and is fast as well.

The app store search on my iPad does not respond. Has anyone had this problem?

App store opens but when I go to search it doesn't do anything

Go to the iTunes app on your Mac. You can search for apps there and they are all iOS apps.
