I always suspected this type of crap went on and here it is in black and white.

I'm not big on installing new apps, so I just tried a bunch of searches, including DropBox, and every single one was the very first search result. Am I just not searching for the right thing to see this in action? Are search results personalized on the appstore like they are on Google?

Apple employee:

> the Files app was manually boosted on the top for the query “Dropbox”

Whoops!
