From The Rusty Apple Files

Apple is considering big changes to the App Store, according to a Bloomberg report.

 The publication claims that the iPhone maker has a team working on "paid searches" -- something similar to Google's model.

Under this, the company will charge its developers for showing their apps among top search results.

 Apple critic John Gruber writes: This sounds like a terrible idea.

 The one and only thing Apple should do with App Store search is make it more accurate. 

They don't need to squeeze any more money from it. 

More accurate, reliable App Store search would help users and help good developers.

 It's downright embarrassing that App Store search is still so bad. 

Google web search is better for searching Apple's App Store than the App Store's built-in search.

 That's the problem Apple needs to address.
