Apple appears to have made three changes in a week to its App Store search algorithms which are used to fine-tune search results. A change made earlier this week scores apps higher by user ratings and app descriptions, rather than by application name (as was the case before the changes). A change made today places a larger emphasis on developer-inserted keywords with names than before, with other changes lowering the position of "junk" applications relying on in-app purchase names for higher placement.
