iTunes : global search

As the iTunes Store has grown, its search feature hasn't. Enter a bit of text in the search field, and you get results for
  1. Albums
  2. Podcasts
  3. Movies
  4. TV seasons
  5. Music videos
  6. iTunes Essentials
  7. iTunes U
  8. Apps
The results were manageable when we were just browsing music, television and movies. Today, it's just too large. Even some of the sub-categories are getting crowded. Recently, the App store was receiving a lot of eBooks from AppEngines. Earlier this week, a "Books" section was added to the App Store.

That's a good step, but I'd like to be able to filter results before execution. For example, an App Store search, a music search or podcasts. iTunes Power Search [link] does this pretty well, but I'd bet that most users don't use it. This ought to be the default search procedure.
