This is how bad the new app store is: I search for "Carmageddon". Result #1 is an app called "Armageddon". Result #2 is "Carmageddon". In what search algorithm does a direct title hit not make that the first result?
- psgibbs 14y agoResult number 4 for me, after Armageddon Racing, Omega Drive, and Worms 2: Armageddon
- bruceboughton 14y agoResult #1 for me in the UK, with the obvious rip-off, Amargeddon, at #2.
- jamesjguthrie 14y agoJust searched for it myself in the UK, Armageddon came up first.

- 3JPLW 14y agoOn iPhone, it's indexed. #4 for me. Four painstakingly slow swipes to the right.
- e1ven 14y agoIt's rough, because when you do have direct match searches come in first, you get apps trying to name themselves directly after the search. FLASHLIGHT PRO GAMES: The best card game ever. FOO: The Barrest blah blah. Doing it this way discourages SEO-naming. I don't know if that's why Apple does it this way, but it's a nice side effect
