The App Store is the primary search engine for all apps and games available for iOS devices, making it a highly visited site for users. Although the download portal has evolved considerably over the years, Apple hasn't made significant changes to improve the experience for the millions of users who access it daily.

A report by TechCrunch reveals that Apple is working to improve the App Store's search engine , making it smarter and more efficient when users are looking for apps. One of the main drawbacks of the previous version of the App Store was its keyword search system, which hindered many users who didn't have the exact app name to find it.

The new changes to the App Store will completely overhaul the old mechanism of the previous version, adding more features to the search system. This way, users will have better references when searching for an application, since the new search engine will include other elements, such as a suggestion system that makes it easier to find new applications.

The need to make such changes to the App Store arises from the constant criticism expressed by many users when accessing the download portal, who point out the limitations encountered when searching for new applications or games, since the search engine works mainly through keywords, which makes it difficult to find new content in the store.

The new features that the new version of the App Store will have are mainly focused on improving the user experience, who will be able to find new content thanks to the reference system that was incorporated into the new search engine.
