Starting to feel super weird about App Store listings in iOS search. It usually just means whenever I’m searching for something some low quality app with the right SEO is now staring me in the face.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What’s really weird is that I get these crummy results for apps in the store, but—for years—if I type “Note” or “Remind” the built-in Notes and Reminders apps don’t show up at all. Why does it offer the Wikipedia page for the Notes app but not the app itself that’s actually on my phone? Is this because I once removed these apps from my home screen a long time ago?<\/p>\n

OK, so I’m not nuts! Reminders, Notes, and Calendars also don’t show up in search on iPhone for me<\/p>\n

I can’t recall ever removing the Notes or Calendar app from my home screen\/phone before. But funny enough, my iPad doesn’t have the app installed, yet shows a reminder there!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Calendar is also missing on my iPhone, and I don’t think I ever deleted that one.<\/p>\n\n
