I know it’s Apple’s style to try to do everything themselves but search has simply never been their strong suit. (Even now, I work around Spotlight using 3rd party software; and Spotlight integration in things like Apple Mail is so messed up that I see it inanely failing to find words in messages that I am currently LOOKING AT.) It is time to team up with Bing and/or Google and just make external search the default. It should be possible to use things like "appstore:ios" as a filter term much like "site:xyz.com", etc. and just offload the entire summary page of every app for indexing. The summaries for apps seem to be rendered as web pages anyway, since the App Store acts like some kind of web view. And when search results are constructed from such filters, all the default links would be formatted by Bing/Google to open the appropriate app store page. All this stuff exists in bits and pieces now, and has for years, it just hasn’t been put together anywhere. It really does seem as simple as dumping every app web page somewhere, indexing it with Google, converting all the results links to use an app-store URL, and saying “done”.
