The Search Function on the iPad's App Store is not very accessible anymore.

Hi All I've tried out the search function on the iPad's app store running iOS 6 and it is not very accessible with Voiceover anymore. I've had a sighted person look at the screen and the way to navigate through the search results on the iPad remains the same as in iOS 5, meaning that all results are displayed on the same page, rather than each App on its own page like with the iPhone and iPod Touch under iOS 6. The apps appear as images that the sighted people can see, yet when I drag my finger over them, voiceover gives no indication that they're there at all. Are there any iPad users out there experiencing the same issue as me? If so can you tell me of a work around for this problem. Thanks Debbi

Same problem, no workaround for now. Already written to accessibility team. We must all warn them!
