Abstract

A method includes receiving a search query and a device type identifier from a user device at a processing system. The method also includes identifying a consideration set of application records based on the search query. Each application record in the consideration set has an initial score associated therewith indicating a degree to which the application record matches the search query. For each application record, the method includes determining a device-specific rating of the software application identified in the application record based on the device type identifier by the processing system, and determining a result score of the application record based on the device-specific rating and the initial score. The method further includes generating device-specific search results based on the consideration set of application records and the result scores thereof by the processing system and transmitting the device-specific search results from the processing system to the user device.
