In Windows Phone 8.1, You can use Launcher to Launch a special URI:

await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(
    new Uri(string.Format("ms-windows-store:search?{0}={1}", type ,searchTerms)));

The type can be 'keyword' or 'publisher', and searchTerms is the keyword you wanna search.

You may still use URI schemes for WP8.0 (WP8.1 has backward compatibility). As I've tried the code below works fine:

await Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(@"zune:search?keyword=test&contenttype=app"));

At the link above you will also find some other nice URIs - navigate to app, search for specific publisher and more.
