AppShopper search is useless

[Monolith]

Often times I find myself reading about a game on the front page of TA, and wanting to add it to my AppShopper wish list. e.g., "The Fleet", which was reviewed today.

Unfortunately, the AppShopper search takes a query like "The Fleet" and just turns up every game containing either of those words in the title or description of the game. So, in essence, it returns a list of every game in the app store.

Sometimes I can work around this by using the name of the developer (which is usually something unique), but this obviously doesn't always work.

Any plans to fix/improve this? Even just support for advanced search boolean like quotes?

Totally agree with this

I've never had a difficult time finding and wish listing games using the AppShopper as in most every case the game topped the list.
So I typed in "The Fleet" just now and it was the first game to show. Tried it even without the caps and still came up first.

Make sure you sort by relevance (in the left sidebar). That probably helps.

I think people should clarify whether they are talking about the website or the app, because I always have this problem with the app but the search works perfectly on their website.

I was talking about the app. If you sort by relevance "the fleet" is top of the list.

Whoops... now I feel dumb. That was my problem! Thanks.
