This is from 9to5 Mac.
Sometimes searching the App Store can be an overwhelming task. You might
already know what you want to download, or other times you might get
distracted when you open the store and forget why you were there,
and typing in what you want to download is old fashioned now. With iOS
8, you can use Siri to search the App Store, iTunes Store, iBooks Store,
and more for you. It’s all a matter of asking Siri with the right commands.
Press down and hold on the home button for two seconds for Siri to appear.
Siri what can I help you with
For example you can say something like, “Search the App Store for
sports apps,” and Siri will open up the App Store and bring you to the
search results of sports.
Siri search the App Store for cooking apps
You can also say things like, “Download MyFitnessPal,” or “Search for
The Beatles in iTunes,” and Siri will open up the App Store to
MyFitnessPal, or Siri will open up iTunes and search for The Beatles.
The same commands for search, or even downloading, work on the iBook
Store for finding books to read and add to your iOS device. For more
examples like this, hold down your home button and activate Siri, then
tap the “?” icon on the bottom left corner to see what else Siri can do.
