I just had an idea and I thought I'd see how many others have thought of it and/or feel the same way.

When you slide your iOS device home screen over to the Search field, and you input your query... Why doesn't it also bring up search suggestions from the App Store or maybe even iTunes??

I went to search to see if I had a particular app installed on my iPad that I don't use often (GoDaddy), and it bothered me that the search didn't offer a link to download the app (or song or podcast) from iTunes. These suggestions are made in iTunes on the Mac. Why not do the same on iOS?

If the user wasn't online, they could have a message at the bottom of the results telling them to connect for iTunes suggestions.

What do you think??

That feature is on Android phones I believe, so they are probably risking a patent issue. They should know. They file patent complaints for a living these days.
