Abstract
Application metadata for computer applications can be retrieved, with the metadata corresponding to metadata for an online application store from which the applications are available. Computer-readable application clusters can be generated. Each of the application clusters can indicate that applications in the cluster are supported by an associated set of one or more platforms for the cluster. The generating of the clusters can include analyzing the application metadata, such as by performing pattern matching on natural language data. Results for application queries for applications supported by a specified computer platform can be limited to listings of applications in one or more of the clusters whose associated set of one or more platforms includes the specified platform.
