App Store Search Function Needs Work

I just want to say that the search function at the app store is not very useful. I was looking for an app called TaptoCall, but couldn't find it. So, I used the word "tap," but 30 apps came up and only 3 had the word tap in the title. It can't search by subject, really. Not a very good search engine.

You are preaching to the choir here, everyone here are fellow users. Apple isn't here. Apple doesn't answer questions here.
You won't find an area for feedback about the Mac App Store. You might give feedback for OS X since the MAS is an app installed with OS X. Otherwise it is part of the iTunes stores.

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.

Iphone 4s app store search is not working

When I use the search feature in my Appstore app, I get a blank white screen. All of the other features work within the app. This has been almost a week now that it will not search for an app and I am starting to get annoyed. Has anyone else been having this problem and does anyone know how to fix it??

Same thing is happening to me except I get a blank black screen. I've tried shutting the phone off and turning it back on but did not help.

My App Store search is not working.

I did a reboot and hard reboot as well, but no luck. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks !!

Having the same problem. No response from Apple as I tried all the suggestions. Had to perform a system restore. Currently iy's working. Make sure you backup everything to your computer. IOS6 is still glitchy in other areas.

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.

Why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice

This is cause by the way the App Store checks to see if an application is installed on your system.
Basically when an app is installed it is in the Applications folder and this is where the MAS looks for them. So it looks at your purchase history for the apps you bought and looks in the Applications folder to see if they are installed. If an app is in your purchase history but not in the Applications folder the MAS says you need to install it.
For normal apps this works fine but the OS doesn;t install into the Applications folder. So the MAS sees you have Mountain Lion in your purchase history but it's not in the Applications folder and so it says you need to download it.
Hopefully one of these days Apple wil fix this.

Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?

You must be signed into the Apple Store with your Apple ID or it won't work.

How to deal with a 100 Store Error:
Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here;
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Now here:
~/Library/Preferences/
Click Go
Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist
com.apple.storeagent.pllist
Now here:
~/Library/Cookies
Click Go
Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, try the App Store.

HT1338 Turbotax in app store says i need to update to Mac OS X 10.8.2

Turbotax in app store says i need to update my macbook pro to Mac OS X 10.8.2, and when I go to Software Update on my apple button to upgrade from my OS X 10.6.8 nothing appears as needing to be updated except iPhoto. What do I need to do so my Macbook recognizes or can download the latestest system update?

If you need to upgrade to Mountain Lion:
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
For error -50: See error 13 and 14:
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

App Store won't launch/work on OSX

Hey all,
This problem has been bothering me for over a year and i cant seem to solve it. I hope you can help me out!
The problem is alot of programs simply dont work (appstore, mail, terminal, agenda) but the main program would be App Store since i need that to get Yosemite. When i try to run (one of) these programs, they dont even start but just quit instantly. (Only mail works, but when i open a mail; it quits).
I tried the following:
Deleting files from the library-cache (also: preferences and cookies)
Logging in and out my user
Logging into another user and trying to launch App Store
Disk recovery first aid things
Security & Privacy settings set to "App Store only"
All of the above dont seem to work for me, i have absolutely no idea what to do next... Do you have any more ideas??

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
As the apps that do not work are OS X base applications, I would recommend you to reinstall OS X. Hold down Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up to boot up in OS X Recovery and reinstall OS X. The applications should work properly after the reinstallation.
If that does not work, you will have to make a backup of your user files, format the disk and reinstall OS X with OS X Recovery (following the steps above). In order to format the disk, you will find Disk Utility after booting up in OS X Recovery, so open it and follow these steps -> http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html

App store not functioning properly

Everything in app store seems to be working except when I try to click on an app to get detailed information. There is no response. I can install the app, but I can't see the details of the app. The screen is responsive to touch for all other applications. Sometimes I can get the app store to function properly, but it has functioned improperly on 3 separate occasions. Any ideas on this problem?

Well the problem seems to have solved itself.
Completely powered down my iPad and left to do something else. Found another owner of the same model. They have no problem. Powered up mine to walk through the issue with my friend and, much to my amazement, I found there was no longer any issue when I opened the App Store. So, in essence, a reboot resolved my issue.
