In Apple they have realized that looking for applications and tools on the App Store is not the easiest or most pleasant experience in the world. And they are testing a new function related to searches in the official application market of the iOS platform to make it easier and more convenient, in addition to focusing on presenting related resultsto discover the user content that may be of interest according to the search performed.Leaving behind sticking to the specific name of the application you are looking for.
At the moment this is a test that is being carried out with a group reduced number of users And it is that not everyone can already enjoy this new search function even if their devices are updated iOS A new bar at the top of the screen that the lucky ones who have already had access to it can already enjoy by simply making a search regularly through App Store to get related results. Something that opens the doors to more easily discover new tools.
To date, most users looking for a specific app need to know its name when looking for it in the App StoreAnd it is that your search engine only recognizes and looks for the coincidences with the names and the letters written in the search engine.Something that does not change at all with this new function. However, in addition to the usual result, this new bar at the top with related results is now presented. Links that lead to new contents that are related to the search performed either by genre of the application, the name of the tool, or the words used that are repeated in subgenres or other sections of the App Store
With this, in addition to finding the application you are looking for, it is possible to slide your finger left or right across this small bar that does not change the appearance of the application market, to access other related search results Of course, it is not yet known if this selection of related results are intelligent and They have some really useful criteria that allow them to be related in addition to the coincidence between letters and terms.However, it does seem like an effort to improve one of the poorest aspects of this app store.
At the moment it is only a test that is being carried out in a controlled and reduced way. Thus, few users currently have this related results bar. A tool that, on the other hand, seems not always to be effective, being able to display the label No related results We will have to wait if finally Apple gets a really useful and effective tool when it comes to searching in its application market. Something that can come in handy both for users, who would find new content in a more simple; as to the developers, who would have a new window to give visibility to their tools
