Here's what happened when the Apple app store just crashed

A quick update on a breaking story. If you're on the Apple (AAPL) app store today, you might have noticed something wrong. The search feature is completely broken, with the app store returning the wrong results for search requests. Major brands are affected, such as Google, Uber, Tumblr, Vine, YouTube, and Candy Crush. The failure has been widespread and lasted until approximately noon ET, meaning developer sales will likely be impacted.
