itunes searching for apps works so much better than google play searching for apps. Google play search is an embarrassing joke.
Searching for USA travel guides brings in french travel guides, spanish travel guides, and london maps.
- click170 14y agoHonestly I find it easier to go to Google.com and search for whatever your looking for appended with "android app". I'm surprised there's such a large difference in the quality of search between Google Play search and Google Search.
- fpgeek 14y agoAbsolutely. I have no idea why they haven't replaced whatever they're doing with: <search> site:play.google.com Then they would just need to resolve apps the way the Play Store already does when presented with a URL and tack on any appropriate filtering (country-level, carrier-level. etc.). This has been a problem for a long time (my standard suggestion used to include "site:market.android.com"). And Google has done a lot with the Play Store app in the interim, so there must be some constraint I'm missing. I just can't see what it is.
