Abstract
One embodiment of a disclosed method and computer-readable storage medium provides customizable application search. Partner systems leverage search functionality of an application search system configured to perform searches for applications. In one embodiment, partner systems select filters to be applied to queries submitted to the application search system via the partners' websites, and specify particular attributes to be displayed with each search result returned by the application search system. When users submit queries to the application search system via a partner system, the users' queries are associated with the partner system's custom filters and attribute display preferences. In response to receiving the queries, the application search system returns search results filtered and formatted according to the partner system's custom preferences.
