Why does Market not display search results at times (1.5)

[poor_red_neck]

I'll try and explain this as best as possible...

If I search for a generic term at top it may say 5 results found, but in the search results it says to re word your search. Why won't it just tell me the 5 it found?

This is on a Sprint hero with 1.5 cupcake obviously.

I've the same question. Also there are some apps listed on the web as a must have. But when you try to search they dont show up in Market.

Also is there any update to the market application itself. Last i heard the 'paid or free' category feature was to be included.

Any Ideas..?

Yea it does this with me too, I will search for something and it will say "3 results found" but give me the error message underneath that you mentioned. What I do is end the "Market" process using a task killer app then I try searching again and this time it displays the "3 results" which it didn't display earlier

I have run into the same problem on my Eris. Sometimes it will show (#) results found, but not list any of them. I will then use the back button and re-enter the search query, which will then show the results.

Also, many apps won't appear in the Market app if they aren't compatible with v1.5.

You'll find some site where people are really raving over some app, but they don't mention that it's only for v1.6 or above. We Hero users go looking for it and, no ah ah, sorry. No download for you.

Also important to remember (and this is also a reminder for Devs) not all countries have access to paid apps yet, so those apps won't show in the Market for countries without paid apps (like Canada!).

Also, Carriers can apparently request that Google block certain apps, whether free or paid, from the market in their region or for their customers.
