When I search for apps in the apps section, don't show games. Use the games section for that.
I want to explore apps that add functions to my phone in one section, minus games.

culture-agnostic marketplace search links
Windows Phone already has culture-agnostic deep-links for apps that use this URL format: "http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=xxxxx...". When a user types that URL into a browser address bar, the Windows Phone website correctly figures out the user's culture settings (language & country) from the Web Request and returns an app page that is specific to that culture: "http://windowsphone.com/en-us/s?appid=..."
Unfortunately, this same capability does not exist for Marketplace search links. For example, "http://windowsphone.com/en-us/search?q=..." works, but the culture agnostic version of that search URL does not: "http://windowsphone.com/search?q=...".
Allowing culture agnostic marketplace search would allow developers to distribute…

Marketplace search needs sorting and filtering
I hear over and over again from people new to Windows Phone that the Marketplace (now Store) search functionality is terrible because you can't sort or filter the results. It's too hard to find good apps, even when those apps exist. I know the Bing team is working to make the search better by adding new criteria to the relevancy score currently used to rank results, but we need manual sorting/filtering as well.
In a search, we should be able to sort and filter by rating, number of reviews, price, title, publisher, category, the currently used relevancy score, and probably…

Force Store Updates
As I've been having issues with my Store App not pushing updates to my phone, thus meaning I have to manually search through EVERY app on my phone to see if there are updates available; I think a feature is needed to "force" the Store to do the search when you click the button....
Then these Apps will appear like how they should when the Store actually works.....
