    Has anyone else noticed sudden and dramatic changes in search result ordering?

    It looks like Apple's now giving extra weight to apps whose names start with the search term.

    Examples:
    - the apps named "boxing" and "Boxing news" have suddenly lurched much higher in search results for "boxing"

    - search results for "karate" now place a number of apps whose names start with "karate" (rather than simply having "karate" as a keyword) front and center.
