Android :: How Does Market Search Engine Work

Aug 5, 2010

How do you improve the position of an app in Android Market search results? The apps don't seem to be sorted on downloads.

The scope of this question is limited to working with the Android Marker search engine, of which there's little or no information. I changed the title to make it clearer.

Android :: Redirecting To Market Search URL Doesn't Work

May 19, 2009

To pretty up the URL we have on our site a URL /get/g1. It redirects to our market.android.com/search URL, eg http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:ourappname.

However, going to that link in the G1 browser results in a 404 instead of opening the Market to our app.

Questions: 1. Is this a known issue? 2. Does the browser preprocess links on the page but not intercept them in a redirect?

Android :: Search Engine App In Perst 4.0 Embedded Database?

Jan 26, 2009

Looking for a way to integrate full-text search and fast, lightweight data management with your Android applications? The new Perst 4.0 open source, object-oriented embedded database system brings native full-text search capability to Android and builds on this feature to provide a sample search engine application for contact data residing on mobile phones.

To provide search, the database stores an inverse index of keywords, with parsing and stemming of indexed text performed either by user- defined code or by Perst's default simple parser and stemmer. The feature supports logical operators and calculates relevance of search results to a query. The new sample application, ContactsIndex, stores and indexes contact information, and could be extended to provide search capabilities for PDF, word processing, HTML and other stored files. The example applications are included with complete source code in the Perst 4.0 for Java distribution..............

Android :: Market Search Box Complaint

Nov 19, 2009

using Droid the market search box will bring up previous search list and it drives me nuts that I can't click on one and EDIT it before it just launches.I would prefer it would put it in the box and wait for me to hit search button, giving me a chance to correct or expand on or otherwise edit the chosen previous search text.I really wish it would act like google on the computer where the results page has your search text in a box on the page allowing you to tweak it EASILY. It is hard enough to type on this thing and ANYTHING that would eliminate retyping would be GREAT.I don't see a topic for android suggestions for general improvement (as opposed to app suggestions), so I put this in here.

Android :: Search Market By Using Various Parameters

Feb 18, 2010

This link describes how to search the Android Market for apps using various parameters:
http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/publishing.html
I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to format a link for my apps published by my company using this format. For searching by developer name, the doc says to use the following format:
market://search?q=pub:<Developer Name>

It also says it returns exact matches only. My publisher name is "Polyclef Software". I guess I'm wondering why Google can't make a market search feature that searches for substrings in the publisher's name, but aside from that, how am I supposed to format the link? Neither of the following work:
market://search?q=pub:Polyclef Software market://search?q=pub:Polyclef+Software
I've tried a number of variations now and nothing works.

To Launch the market I usually do this:

Android : How To Search Mulitple Developers In Market

Feb 3, 2010

I am adding a menu option in my newest application that will allow users to view all of our other applicatiosn we've published to the market place. The problem we are having is we created a second more business like developer account, but want to let users also see all of our old apps. I know how to have the search point to one developer, i.e. pub:<developer name>, but does anyone know of a way to have it search multiple? So that when they click the button all the apps from the older developer we had along with the newer business developer we created?

Android :: How To Link Browser To Search Application In Market?

Mar 3, 2009

Using G1, go to http://www.myspace.com. Notice the site is able to detect the user agent from the browser and provides a link to search the MySpace application on the Android Marketplace. Google's http://code.google.com/android/devel/sign-publish.html# publishing provides options to search, e.g. http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:<package>. This does not work for me.

HTC Incredible :: Youtube / Android Market Web Browser Search

May 16, 2010

I have a question with youtube/android market/internet browser after searching for something. For example, if first I type in the word transformers and then click it, it will search youtube or if I am on the android market/internet search for transformers. Next if I went to search for transformers 2, I start typing in the word "transformers" and right away the above word appears, but if I click on it, it goes right to the original search. How can I do it where if I click on it the word transformers will appear but not run youtube video/android market/web browser so I can then type in the number 2.

Android :: Setting Dolphin As Default For Market Search?

Dec 19, 2009

Since I've set Dolphin as my default browser, when I click on a link to search for an app in the market I get a not found error. For instance, there is a link in Documents to Go (the paid key file) that is supposed to take you to the market to download the actual Documents to Go apps when I click on that link it opens the Dolphin browser and then there is a not found error. Before I set Dolphin as the default those types of links would open the market place to the application.

Android :: New Application Listing Order In Market Search

Sep 24, 2010

Before today, when entering a search term into the Market app, the results at the top of the search would all be exact matches of that search term against the app name. For example, type "translate" and the user will see all the apps called "translate" before the "Google Translate" result (which is by far the most downloaded translate app). Now, this no longer happens. If you type "translate" the first result is "Google Translate" (and no preference is given to exact matches).

Note: posted on this forum partly because hardly anyone reads Android Discuss, and partly because developers need to know how their apps are being prioritized in app search results).

Android :: Market Search Results Position Mystery

Apr 2, 2010

How is an app's position in the Android Market search results determined? Is it as mysterious and complex as Google Web search results? We obviously don't want to change any words in our app's title or description that would hurt our position.

Same question applies for not only search results, but when clicking on a Category in the Android Market. How is the order of the list determined? I would think that Google would have published some guidelines at least that could help, but I haven't found anything yet.

Android :: How To Search Market Based On Two Word Developer Name?

Jun 22, 2010

(Question also posted here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=68dc1f694537c7dc&hl=en )
http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/publishing.html
recommends searching for apps by Developer Name using the URL: market://search?q=pub:
I can't get this to work for two word names. For instance, if I want to search for all of Google's apps on the Market, I would search for 'Google Inc.' since if you look at Google Earth, Google Sky Map, etc. those are all published by 'Google Inc.'

I've tried the following:
market://search?q=pub:Google%2BInc%2E
(equivalent of: Google+Inc.)
market://search?q=pub:Google%20Inc%2E
(equivalent of: Google Inc.)
market://search?q=pub:Google Inc.
(equivalent of: Google Inc.)
market://search?q=pub:Google+Inc.
(equivalent of: Google+Inc.)
but none work.

Android :: Why Does Market Not Display Search Results At Times (1.5)

Nov 1, 2009

I'll try and explain this as best as possible...

If I search for a generic term at top it may say 5 results found, but in the search results it says to re word your search. Why won't it just tell me the 5 it found?

This is on a Sprint hero with 1.5 cupcake obviously.

Android :: Why Doesn't Voice Search Work As Advertised

Aug 15, 2010

I already downloaded the latest voice search app on my nexus one. I can perform some of the voice actions like calling, navigating, maps and internet search, but I can't seem to add alarm, send text message/email, note to self, call businesses or even set alarm. Instead the results give me either google search or voice dialing. Are some of the functions blocked here? Also I noticed in the official guide video the help screen had more options than mine. Is my voice search a more toned down version because I'm in a different region?
