Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
The iPad App Store search function will not display iPhone apps if no iPad apps match your query; the button to do so appears but is inoperative.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start App Store on iPad.
2. Search for Principalm.
3. No results appear. So tap "iPhone Apps" at top of screen.

Expected Results:
Tapping iPhone Apps should show iPhone apps.

Actual Results:
Tapping iPhone Apps does nothing.

Regression:

Notes:

- This bug only affects iPhone applications, not universal applications. A couple hours ago, my app Rubrix was also iPhone only and exhibited this bug. Since releasing an iPad update in the store, Rubrix now appears in searches.
- In order for this bug to appear, the search query must match *NO* iPad applications. For example, searching for Denominations returns an iPad result for Oxford Dictionary. As a result, the iPhone Apps tab works and shows Denominations.
- This is a new bug in iOS 6.

Comments

Additional info

I didn't include this in the original bug report, but the app can be found on the iPhone using search.
