How do I update the App Store itself on a MacBook Pro?

How do I update the App Store itself on a MacBook Pro (bought new 2020)? The App Store displays a limited number of apps (~ 50 total). When I search for apps I know exist (and are mac-friendly), they don't show up. No filters are on and OS is updated. Suggestions?


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.3

The App Store app cannot be updated as it is part of macOS and is updated when macOS is updated. The current version is macOS 11.3.1, your profile only says 11.3.


Apps are limited by the developer as to which countries their app is available from the App Store. If you are searching for an app in another country, it may not be offered in your coun ty's App Store.
