Multi-word searches are more specific, less results
We've tweaked the search results behavior on MacUpdate slightly. When searching using more than one word in the query, it now requires all of the words in the query to be present in order to show results. This means that the more words you use in a search, the more specific you're being, and the number of software titles returned will be less and less.
We're hoping this will resolve the issue people had when searching for queries like mp3 player -- where it used to list all entries that had the word "mp3" and also all entries that had the word "player," -- which not every "player" can play the MP3 format. Enjoy!

It's a good thing you've just changed this behavior, as I was just gonna switch back to VersionTracker. Man, that was a close call for you guys. I hope you haven't lost too many users already.
I'm glad you're sticking around. Spread the word to your friends if you would. Thanks!
Will do!
