Is there a simple search function available in the revised App Store?

I cannot seem to find a way to conduct a simple search of the millions of Apps in the newest version of the App Store in IOS 6?  The older version had the Categories option with a search window included.  The new version is far less flexible and causes a user to painfully conduct manual searches with out getting to the desired available apps quickly.  If you do not know the exact app you want you are forced to do these manual searches which frankly caused me to give up after 30 minutes of trying to find a simple print app. 

I have the same problem. You no longer have a widely comprehensive search, and iBooks search has the same issue. If you search for example, for "Sherlock Holmes," you used to get every Sherlock Holmes title. Now you only get titles with "Sherlock Holmes" in the actual title. You do not get "A Study in Scarlet" (the very first Sherlock Holmes novel).
So far, iTunes in my Mac allow comprehensive searches in both categories, but it has taken a lot of joy out of using iPad for me. I would look for cool new apps and titles when I had a few moments, but now I only look when I have something specific in mind because I can't really do it with iPad.

    You should talk to the App developer on their website.

  • I signed up for my apple account while living in Canada, and now I lives in the US. I am looking for a specific app that apparently is only available through the US app store. How can I change my account to the US Apple Store?

    As long as you have a form of payment (credit or debit card) with a USA source, and with a billing address in the USA, then you just need to change your payment information on your account to that, change your country in the store settings, and you will then be able to shop in the USA store.
    Your AppleID will work in any country's store, as long as your payment source and billing addres are also specific to that country (and you are in that country as well, as there may be IP filters in place to stop use outside of the country).

  • Why is the google plus app not available in the pakistani app store?

    Ive been waiting for the Google+ app for a month and finally when it arrives its not availeble in the Pakistani app store. Why? the rest of the world is happily using it. When it will be available? is there a way to get it from the US app store? can someone gift the app to me.

    "Why? "
    You would have to ask Google.  Probably government restirctions.
    "When it will be available? "
    You would have to ask Google and/or your government.
    " is there a way to get it from the US app store?"
    You could physically move to the U.S. apply for and recieve a U.S credit card billed to your new U.S address, then you could use the U.S app store as long as you were inside the birders of the U.S.
    "can someone gift the app to me."
    No.

  • Will Lightroom 5 be available on the Mac App Store?

    Will Lightroom 5 be available on the Mac App Store?

    Unbelievable. All it took was one iteration on the Mac App Store and we're back to being forced to buy the hard-to-install-and-likely-to-be-wrought-with-problems-DRM-delight version of the upgrade direct from Adobe?! I wish Adobe would decide on a distribution model and stick with it for the sake of its customers. I'm getting awfully fed up with having to navigate a different way of upgrading the software every time it becomes available. I might not bother this time. Get it right, Adobe. You can no longer assume you have a captive audience.

  • App not available in the Greek App Store

    I just got a monopoly zapped edition that requires the corresponding app for my iPad. The app is not available in the Greek App Store. What can I do? Did I just wasted my money?

    You will not be able to buy an App if it available in the App Store of another country unless you have a billing address and a bank card/credit card issued in that country.

  • Is OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard available in the Mac app store, because I can't find it ??

    I have now Leopard on my Macbook pro. I need to install snow leopard first before to have the possibility to install Lion.
    But I can't find snow leopard on the Mac App Store ....
    How should I do ??

    The Mac App Store was only introduced at the 10.6.6 update. As you need Snow Leopard before you can access the App Store, it's hardly going to be available there, is it?
    You have to buy the retail Snow Leopard DVD. That is available from Apple stores or the Apple online store (as distinct from the App Store) for about $30.
    It will also be available from Amazon.
    The installer is 10.6.3, so you'll need to use the combo update to get to 10.6.8.

  • Popular science for iPad is no longer available in the australian app store - how do I get the issues I hadn't downloaded?

    I have been a subscriber to Popular Science on the iPad since it started.
    However, they have removed their app from the Australian App Store.
    I now find that I cannot continue my subscription, and I can't access most of the issues that I had purchased, having either deleted them from my iPad or not downloaded them at all (even though I had paid for them).
    What options do I have now?
    I've been in email contact with Bonnier, the publishers.
    They've apologised and given me a 12mth subscription to a PFD verison of the magazine via Zinio (which was good of them).
    Regarding the back issues, they've suggested I restore them from a backup - how do I restore individual in-app magazine purchases from an old backup?
    I think that I'm going to have to go to Apple and see if there's anything that they can do for me.
    Any thoughts from the community would be gratefully received.

    If your system's not compatible with 10.8 and has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.

  • I have a Belgian Apple-ID. How can I buy an app when only available in the UK app store?

    Hi,
    I've been trying to find this particular app (medical) and finally found it in the UK app store (Clinical). Since it is not available in the Belgian store, it seems that I'm not able to get this on my iPhone.
    I tried subscribing in the UK store, but they won't accept a Belgian Visa, nor my Belgian address. Does anyone know how I could get this app?

    You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country...

  • When will os mavericks be available in the indian app store?

    I tried downloading mavericks today. But the app store gives an error that not available for indian app store. How much longer do i have to wait?

    I can't even find it in the US App Store! (Maybe I need to restart?) I was also looking for the updates to iLife and iWork but can't find them, either!
    Be a bit patient - I'm sure that Apple's servers will be hit hard when people begin downloading it as it's free.

  • Why is iDVD not available in the apple app store?

    hi there!
    i wonder why iDVD is not available in the App-Store.
    are the functions from iDVD part of Final Cut Pro - or is there a other official program for creating DVDs out of iMovie films?
    hope to find an answer here,
    greetings
    david

    Apple has stopped development and support of iDVD and iWeb. They are currently only available via the boxed iLife 11 disk from Amazon.com: iLife 11 or maybe eBay.com.

  • What is going on with iPhoto? It has not only disappeared but when I try to get it back I'm told that it is not available in the UK apps store.

    I can't get iPhoto back. Where has it gone?

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • JamPacks available in the Mac App Store!

    Hi,
    Did anybody else notice, that all JamPacks are back available for just $29.99?
    The trick is to buy MainStage and then you can download all JamPacks from within the app. Once downloaded, they are available in GarageBand!

    I just discovered the same thing!

  • HT1822 "Server app is available from the Mac App Store" ?

    Has anyone been able to find Server app on the Mac App store? I need it for administering my other servers 10.4.11 and 10.7.4 from my new copy of Mavericks OS10.9 that came with my new MacBook Pro 15". I have not been able to find "Server app on the Mac App store" yet, maybe I am looking in the wrong place.

    So much of seemless staggared upgrading of my Apple assets, hardware and or software.
    I did read the artical and accept that I must upgrade all my assets at once to maintain a tight level of integration. Let me restate the question, "where on the Mac App site can I find the Server app", the product the second sentance of the first paragraph in the OS X Server (Mavericks) section of artical  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1822?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US refers to?
    I was hoping someone that has had this issue before could point me to where the alleged "Server app" for Mavericks OS's can be obtained.
