The App Store has serious operational problems

If you have tried to use the App Store in the last few hours to search for various applications available in the Cupertino store, then you may have encountered the problem that you can see in the image below.

It seems that the App Store displays erroneous results for searches made for applications, and in some cases, applications opposite to those searched for, or applications that only enhance the functionality of the application you want to install, are displayed.

The problems seem to affect all App Stores around the world, on all Apple iDevices, so if you happen to be looking for an application and can't find it, well now you know what the cause of the problems is.
