how do I search for an app in app store?

I cannot find any search feature in iTunes.

Also, there is no mention of search in iTunes help, or on any Apple support pages, or any Apple FAQs on iTunes or its App store.

Too bad Apple software is so unfriendly compared to everything else that's out there.

This is only the smallest part of the solution. The first part is the hardest part, because it is the part that UNHIDES the above search box.


For example, there are many views in iTunes, and none of them have the search box above unless you change something, something that Apple has made very non-intuitive and obscure. I suppose on purpose, to keep people from being able to buy stuff. That is the new Apple under Tim Cook -- make stuff lousy, non-intuitive, and make people get frustrated enough that they buy other solutions that work better.


Here's a typical view in iTunes:

Now, the screen will show the search bar at the top right:
