iTunes global search must be revamped

As the iTunes Store has grown, its search feature hasn’t. Enter a bit of text in the search field, and you get results for

1. Albums
2. Podcasts
3. Movies
4. TV seasons
5. Music videos
6. iTunes Essentials
7. iTunes U
8. Apps

The results were manageable when we were just browsing music, television and movies. Today, it’s just too large. Even some of the sub-categories are getting crowded. Recently, the App store was receiving a lot of eBooks from AppEngines. Earlier that week, a “Books” section was added to the

App Store.

That’s a good step, but I’d like to be able to filter results before execution. For example, an App Store search, a music search or podcasts. iTunes ability Search [link] does that pretty well, but I’d bet that most users don’t use it. that ought to be the default search procedure.

Of course, I’m old and crotchety, so take that with a gain of iSalt.Thanks to Matt for the eBook App Store tip!
