Abstract

A hardware module for an application search system includes a data processing module that generates a plurality of canonical application structures each identifying a canonical application, a plurality of application editions associated with the canonical application, and respective attributes associated with the at least one application edition. The data processing module generates search indexes including the plurality of canonical application structures and the respective attributes. An application search module receives a search query from a user, selects at least one of the search indexes based on the search query and the respective attributes, identifies an initial set of canonical applications using the selected search index based on the search query, generates search results based on the initial set of canonical applications, and provides the search results to the user.
