Dynamic filtering in application search

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising stored computer program instructions that when executed cause one or more processors to:

• store a plurality of application indexes, each application index corresponding to one or more application categories and each application index comprising identifiers for a plurality of application representations;
• receive a search query from a computing device;
• identify an application category based on the received search query;
• select an index from the plurality of application indexes corresponding to the identified application category;
• query the selected index corresponding to the identified application category to generate search results for the received search query, the search results corresponding to a plurality of application representations associated with the identified application category, and
• provide, for display, the generated search results to the computing device.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving at a computing device, an application search query associated with a selected application category;
• transmitting the application search query to an application search system, the application search system storing a plurality of application indexes, each application index comprising identifiers of a plurality of application representations and corresponding to one or more application categories, wherein the application search system is configured to generate search results based on the application search query;
• receiving the search results from the application search system, the search results comprising identifiers of a plurality of application representations within the selected application category;
• and
• displaying the search results by the computing device.
