Well, what do you know? A Search function; (right) And it works...!
The usual macro filters are available too, there's a lot of control about what AppRaisin shows you. My existing concerns about the system being selective still apply, but it's a great resource still; (right) In addition to going 'back', there's now a cross, top right, in case that means of going back to the main view is more convenient for your grip.
You can grab AppRaisin in the Store here. Though do see also my own curated app directory.
