So whoever updated today is now s*****d, because unless Apple does something about it, your competition can now do no updates for as long as they can bear (could be months) and rip the benefits of their "stuffed" descriptions. Every words that is a match in a search could represent 1 sale. With the volume on apple store, this could mean a difference of $10, $20, $30 a day (That's $300 to $900 per month in US market alone)... and also a decline in ranking slowly but deadly... Meanwhile the competition grows.
I don't mind the change, but it needs to be on even terms for everyone.

I think I will give up trying to figure out the search. By my count I have meowing twice in the app description and as a keyword that I entered today. Pocket Kitty once in the app description, unknown if a keyword. It seems that Meow Match should at least show up in the results but it doesn't. Use the keyword feline, which I have never had in the description or app name, and it is right at the top. So I don't know anymore what Apple is doing. They must be using the keywords but if they were then Meow Match should still show up in the search when meowing is used. Very Confusing.
