Apple’s App Store search function sucks. Example: I thought (wrongly) an iOS app existed called “cookie” that helps us reduce tracking. But I can’t tell whether I’m wrong or right, because Apple’s search logic appears to be “cookie is related to candy, so let’s show him everything that mentions candy. And candy crush is a game, so let’s also show him every other game in the store.”
“Cookie” is not the only search that has been hopeless due to this kind of idiocy, so I wonder if there is a way to filter to what I actually asked for.
