Let's be honest, PSN just has too many words on it. So, according to TheReg, "Sony is developing a PlayStation Network design upgrade that could transform the online environment into a more image-driven layout along the lines of Xbox Live and Steam".
Apparently, "Many PSN users" have described the current look of PSN as too text heavy. This has lead the company to market test a new design that "de-clutters the screen using what sources familiar with the new look call "an aesthetic layout with logically marked sections and rolodex lists".
Really good news for anybody who has struggled with PSN's actual functionality however, is that "The revamped PSN also packs a new, live search method with results appearing as users enter characters rather than head off to a separate text-entry page."
There is also going to be a 'deals of the week' section.

I'm assuming by "PSN" they mean "PlayStation Store" then?

Could also mean XMB... let's face it, that interface really needs a decluttering now.

XMB is hardly "wordy" though is it? Come to think of it, neither is PSStore.

You've not seen the amount of options (and accompanying text) under Settings, have you? ;)

@DrkStr depends what it's searching - could be a filter for your friends & products/items on the store, in which case calling it "PSN search" seems logical
