1. I hear about an app called Anycut. I get on my new Hero and search the market for "anycut".
2. The response is "2 results for 'anycut'" but it doesn't display any. It displays the suggestion list for when there are no results.
3. I change my query to "shortcut". Response is "51 results for 'shortcut'" but still doesn't display anything.
4. Decide this is ridiculous. Kill market app with TasKiller. Relaunch. Search for "shortcut". Results display! Anycut is not in them. No apparent way to sort by name to be 100% sure I'm not just missing it. Can't actually tell what it is sorting by.
5. Change query to "shortcuts" (plural). Can't find a way to alter my previous search - seem only to be able to re-use it - so I just retype the whole word. 53 results, which display. Anycut is in the list! Realize it is called Any Cut.
6. Search for "cut", assuming that is what would have worked in the first place. 63 results. Any Cut is not one of them!!??
7. Search for "any" out of morbid curiosity. 828 results. With no way to sort I have no hope of finding Any Cut whether it's there or not, but I gamely scroll down a bit. After a few pages I notice I am seeing the same apps over again... Droid411...MyKey...Lucky Lotto Shaker... yep. They are showing up just a few pages down from where they first appeared as I scrolled. What is up with this app?
8. Morbid curiosity prevails again. I search for "Cut", with a capital "C" you see. Any Cut appears! The market search is CASE FREAKING SENSITIVE!!!!???
9. Search for "anycut" again, all lower case, just to see if it will still say 2 results but show me none of them since I haven't run into that problem for a few queries. 2 results. BetterCut and Any Cut appear. I give up trying to understand. I install Any Cut.
What, um, is up with this marketplace?
