Search results not showing certain apps in appstore!!??

Hello, When I search for a certain app/game in the app store on my ipad, it does not come up in the results..
Have encountered this several times so far, who knows how long it has been like this..
PLEASE help?
I have done  the simple little obvious things, like closing app store, going back in, signing in and out, soft reset, checking the settings. I contacted customer support but the agent was unable to assist me, said I should call, I hate calling tech support so...
I would really hate to do a hard reset as I have a lot of stuff on there.. IF as a last resort  I have to, would backing up my ipad in the iTunes store on the computer save my SAVE-GAME data?
And would a hard reset for sure fix the problem..?
Thanks in advance.
US ipad 2, ios 7.0.3

It could very well be that the app you are searching for on your iPad is one of those that is only compatible with the iPhone.
For example, I just did an App Store search for an iPad *only* app (iSEM Oberheim synthesizer) that I have installed on all of my iPads...I performed the search on my iPhone 5 and got no results on that particular app...a few other apps came up in the search but they had nothing at all to do with the app in question.
Another thing to check is if the app is indeed still available in the App Store. To verify, I'd search the App Store in iTunes on the Mac or PC...older apps especially get pulled frequently along with apps that maybe somehow violated a copyright issue or an app that the developer wanted pulled for some reason.
Also, a reset (as outlined below) won't affect your data if you'd like to try it.
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • ITunes Store Search Results Not Showing Up

    Unable to see the search results in the iTunes App Store.
    I'm using iTunes v10.6.3. Whenever I type in my search criteria, all I get is a black box underneath my search bar (see photograph, top right). Using my cursor, all I get when going down inside the black box area is horizontal white bars with no text.
    All I have installed to change the appearance of iTunes is the iTunes Button changer and the Crystal Black theme.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have had this problem occurring in the last couple of updates. I cannot remember exactly when it first happened.

    FollowUp - Problem Solved.
    Just in case anyone else was experiencing the same issues, I pinpointed it down to a corrupted iTunes preference file - com.apple.iTunes.plist.
    I created a new user account, lauched iTunes and it worked fine, no black drop down window appearing, so I went back into my account and deleted this and relaunched iTunes and the drop down window showed all the search results again, not the black window as seen in my example image.
    Hope this helps others!

  • Podcast Search results not showing all episodes

    I'm new to podcasting & our podcast isn't showing up properly.
    When you look at our podcast in the search results, only one episode shows up.
    There are three episodes total, but they show up only if you subscribe to the podcast.
    Is there a way for the search results to show all of our episodes?
    Our iTunes link is http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-hills-fellowship/id448179201
    Our RSS feed is http://sermon.net/rss/client/thehillsfellowship
    Please help if you can!
    Also, they were uploaded last week...so it's been enough time for them to be processed & show up.

    I'm afraid I can't give you a comforting answer.
    The feed at the URL you quote contains the tag
    <itunes:new-feed-url>http://sermon.net/rss/thehillsfellowship/main</itunes:new-feed-url>
    so the feed iTunes is now using is
    http://sermon.net/rss/thehillsfellowship/main
    and that is the one you should be updating - though in fact they are almost identical and it's possible that the method you are using updates them both.
    The feed at http://sermon.net/rss/thehillsfellowship/main is valid and I can't see anything wrong with it. As you say, it can be subscribed to and shows all three episodes: but the Store page (and thus the search results) show only the first episode.
    The Store should have updated by now: it's not unknown for the Store to get stuck and fail to update for several weeks: usually it eventually updates and I have no idea why it does this. It doesn't happen often, but I have seen the occasional complaint.
    However there is another issue which may be relevant: although the date of the latest episode is July 17th, the feed was updated today:
    <lastBuildDate>Mon, 15 Aug 2011 16:11:23 GMT</lastBuildDate>
    <pubDate>Mon, 15 Aug 2011 16:11:23 GMT</pubDate>
    This raises the possibility that there was something wrong with the feed before (hence the failure to update) but that whatever you've done today cleared it. That would indeed result in the three episodes showing on subscribing but not in the Store - it would take a couple of days or so to catch up.
    If that is the case the Store should update in a day or two. If not, then it might update at some future date or it might not: I can't explain that.
    I should at least give it two or three days and see what happens. Check the Store page using the link you gave, not the Search results as these often lag behind.
    If you don't get a result after several days you could try iTunes Support, but I have to tell you that they don't have a good record for helpfulness and the chances are you won't get anywhere with them.  Go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

  • SEARCH RESULTS NOT SHOWING THE NAME OF DOCUMENT

    When I search for a document on the top level, the results in my case are relevant but they do not display the document name, meaning I have to go into the document to check if it is the one I'm looking for. For some reason the name of the file is displayed
    in results as the first line of the document. I use a document template for letters meaning that the search results gives as list of documents that all have the same name displayed. This renders the search function almost useless as all the results are showing
    the same name. Is there a way to change the results page to display the name of the document??

    Hi,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to show search results by document name instead of the Title.
    Here are two links about how to show document name in search results, you can use as a reference:

  • Search results not showing book

    I am having great difficulty in getting a book to show up when searching in iTunes. (this is not a back-door way of promotion!)
    Can you help me regarding metadata? This particular book (called Why They Win) has the words 'bridge', 'bidding', 'play' and several other keywords in the description. I thought the words in the description were used to help build search terms. However if these words either singly or in combination are used in the iTunes search box the book never shows up in the search results. What do I have to do to make it appear in search results without typing in the actual title or author which obviously most people will not know in advance?

    It's not compatible with iPhones (nor iPod Touches) - from the book's description page in the store :
    This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iPad, and with iTunes on your computer. Multi-touch books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iPad. Books with interactive features may work best on an iPad. iBooks on your Mac requires OS X 10.9 or later.
    Requirements: To view this book, you must have an iPad with iBooks 3 or later and iOS 5.1 or later, or a Mac with iBooks 1.0 or later and OS X 10.9 or later.
    Did you create the book with iBooks Author ?

  • Google adsense search results not showing up

    I have a google adsense search engine that is supposed to search my site and post google ads at the top of the query.
    I copied and pasted the html into iWeb
    The search widget seems fine: http://www.onlinehighschool.org/SchoolSearch.html (the black one)
    But the separate page for results doesn't have anything even though the html was pasted there:

  • Search does not find certain songs/artists

    Hello everybody,
    (iTunes 11.0.1 / 10.8.2).
    When I search for certain artist, iTunes search will not show them. Yesterday I searched for "Whitney" and nothing was found. But I have 12 songs from Whitney Houston. There are many other artist that will not be found. A lot of the albums are compilations.

    Spotlight does have this problem, intermittently. A potential fix is possible by going to Settings > General > Spotlight Search. Uncheck all options, and perform a hard reset on the device (holding down home and power buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo). Once it starts back up, go back to Spotlight Search, and turn everything (or the certain ones you want) back on. Then perform another hard reset.
    If that doesn't work, try Reset All Settings in Settings > General > Reset.

  • Search Result is showing Blank Title for some of the doc Files

    Hi,
        I am doing Search on SharePoint 2010 with the search scope set to one of the document library , But the search result is showing different results for different doc files. I can analyse three type of output from the search result:
    1) for some records Title is shown correct.
    2) for some files , Title is shown with keyword "Title:<Actual Title>"
    3) and in some docs its hsowing Just the keyword "Title:" in place of actual title
    I am not able to understand why the result is behaving like this.
    Any assistance will be really appreciable .
    Thanks in advance

    In Central Administration in the Search Service in Managed Properties look for 'Title'. You will see that Title is populated from a number of properties on a document, some properties are given higher priority then others. That could be a clue. 
    Also, what type of document are you crawling a PDF, word document, etc?  For PDFs you have to install a special iFilter and you need to be aware sometimes the properties on the actual PDF in adobe are used.
    I sugest: Try to make sure you give your documents a title in SharePoint and that you rank that property as the #1 property in Central Admin that the Managed property 'Title' uses.

  • TS1702 Updates in App Store is not showing the Apps list

    After updating iOS to 6.1 in my iPhone 4s, while tapping 'Updates' in App Store, it is not showing the Apps list, though over the icon it is showing that 11 Apps has got Updates available.

    hi
    i've had your same proble,
    you have to go on settings-->itunes&app stores-->apple ID and sign out.
    after this restart your device:
    Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home buttonat the bottom center of the face at the same time.
    Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding it.
    Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
    ok, now go to settings-->itunes&app stores-->apple ID and sign in again
    ... for me it worked
    bye bye let me know if it works even for you!

    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain?
