There currently is an App Store outage. I've also been having trouble with the search function in some of their affected apps. Try again later.

Are you currently experiencing this issue with being unable to search? If not I am glad you are not, for those of us who are this was a work around that worked for me. I am sure if it was impacting everyone this would be a lot bigger issue. This is likely not the root cause but it may be enough to overcome whatever it is. In theory it opens up a different path to query the database, so it’s likely a work around as opposed to a fix.
