Navigate to windows 8 store with search query

Question

I want to go to windows store when button clicked . It should navigate to search page of windows store with search query.

Here is equivalent c# code..

  private async void gotoStore(string query)
        {
            var storeURI = new Uri("ms-windows-store:Search?query="+query+"");
            await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(storeURI);
        }

I need to do it in Javascript

Answer 1

There is a JavaScript sample code snippet in the LaunchUriAsync documentation. Just change the URI to your store query. See Linking to your app for more information on available ms-windows-store: URIs.
