Search Volume Data for iTunes App Store?
-
Ok, so maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places, But where can I get good search volume data for searches done in iTunes app store? Or is this something that Apple just doesn't share?

Neither Apple nor Google straight-out give you keyword data in their consoles. However, there are a few workarounds.
Apple has recently added "Apple Analytics" that give useful data, including device types and referring sites. They likely may add KW data in future.
GP (Google Play) does not report keyword data in the Developers Console but (surprise!) when connected to one's GSC (formerly known as WMT), all sorts of juicy data (including keywords) is viewable in GSC.
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2015/05/rolling-out-red-carpet-for-app-owners.htmlApp Annie is very useful for competitive research. It's the best tool out there, followed from a distance by Sensor Tower, App Figures and others. But the best guestimate for volume they offer is "Results" for an app store search, which just means how many apps show up for it. Sensor Tower has a guestimate volume based on the AdWords KW tool.

I have come across a cool site called https://www.appannie.com/ that gives you some analytics, but nothing like search volumes, or even better, ability to track rankings within Google Play Store or iTunes app store. Still new, but really hoping somebody does something like this.

Site "Internal" Search Full-Text Indexing vs. Manual Tagging
I’m looking for recommendations on how to power site search in an efficient way. Ideally, I would like to get recommendations on platforms, tools, trends, technology and resources. This discussion does not really refer to SEO or site search optimization. It is more related to the technology used to power site search. I would like to get an idea on the differences between full-text indexing site search and site search that requires manual tagging.

Searching by Demographic Group
Is there a way I can search for top sites searched by a certain demographic group. For example if I searched for: Women 60-70 the top search results would be 1. Menopause.com 2. Retirement.com etc. I want to make sure I'm interact with my customer base where they are searching and engaging the communities they find most interesting and important. I know I can search for demographic information about these specific groups, but I want to get results of top sites used by a certain age and gender. Similar to the way you can target demographic factors in Facebook advertising. Is there possibly some search operators I can use to return these type of results?

Storing & Analyzing Site Search Phrases
We are adding a JQuery smart search to our site that provides product suggestions as our visitors type. I can create a simple script to store precisely what the visitors are searching for and how they type it. However... I am not sure how to best analyze the data for use. Simply storing the data does not tell me how many times a particular phrase was used. I believe a smart suggestion search tool will skew my results, as it will suggest what I list my product names as in my database rather than what they call it. I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I found a great JQuery script for the suggestion search, but is there anything out there for storing and analyzing the user search input?

YouTube, Closed Captions and Search
Hey team, Just wondering if there's anyone out there that may have dabbled with YouTube closed captions and if having them has any effect at all on search results. My theory (unfounded) is that perhaps these files can be crawled (or viewed) by crawlers and/or given priority in search due to having indexible content which defines the content within the clip - which otherwise wouldn't have been known. Now, I have no evidence that this may be the case but wondering if anyone out there may have seen or read something about it. Seems like kind of a cool thing for SE's to do to help promote accessibility across teh web. Thanks guys.
