Summary:
This loophole is currently being abused by App Store spammers and legitimate uses of iOS 8 as a keyword is being prevented by the App Review team.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Search "iOS 8" or "iOS 8 [keyword]" on the App Store

Expected Results:
All apps built against the iOS 8 SDK should be included in the results and fall back to sorting according to other search terms.

Actual Results:
Only apps that managed to sneak through app review with iOS 8 in their keywords or title are shown. Many of which aren't even optimized for iOS 8.
