I can't seem to find any search box in the store. Does it exist? How can I access it?

From this question on Microsoft Answers:

To [search] the Windows 8 Store, click the Store tile on the Start screen and then press Win+Q or touch swipe from the right edge to open charms, then use the Search charm to search for apps.

To clarify for people using a mouse:

  1. Open the Store
  2. Move your cursor to the top or bottom right corner
  3. Click the search icon
  4. Type your search

You can just open it to its main page, and start typing, as well, just like on the Start screen. Doesn't work on every page of the store, though. – Ariane – 2013-01-08T07:21:18.887
