Methods and systems for generating application build recommendations

A computing system, the computing system comprising:

• an online application database, the online application database storing applications;
• a processor;
• and
• a data storage storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, are to cause the processor to:
• store, in a memory, at least one application search query that resulted in fewer than a first threshold number of relevant results and metadata regarding the at least one application search query;
• determine that a count of stored queries exceeds a second threshold number and, in response, identifying at least one application feature based on query strings from the stored application search queries;
• and
• provide an application build recommendation specifying the at least one application feature.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions for managing an online application database, the online application database storing applications, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, are to cause the one or more processors to:

• store, in a memory, at least one application search query that resulted in fewer than a first threshold number of relevant results and metadata regarding the at least one application search query;
• determine that a count of stored queries exceeds a second threshold number and, in response, identifying at least one application feature based on query strings from the stored application search queries;
• and
• provide an application build recommendation specifying the at least one application feature.
