Search for an Application

When you search for an application, the system reads the word(s) in your search term as a string of characters (rather than as separate words), and searches for occurrences of the text string anywhere in the application name or the developer/publisher name.

 

For example, the search term “ad” would include the results “AutoCAD,” “Notepad” and “Cadence.”

 

Enter the term you wish to search for in the Search box, then press Enter.

 

The App Store refreshes to display only those applications that contain your search term.

   

Click the  icon to clear the Search box and return to the full App Store.
