    I only ever look for apps by name, and the top results are always different apps than what I typed in, so for me they’re completely irrelevant trash.

      Ahh I can see that. I’m usually looking for a list of products by class, or a very worst a specific product. I’m going to end up buying it from Target Walmart or Amazon, so that top search result is 1/3 of my research out of the way.
