Google has added app listings to its
Google search for Android in a new update. Now, users can search for
information not only on the web but also within apps on Google Play as
well as third party apps. Google states in a blog post that the
app listings will show up directly in Chrome and Android browsers and
users don't even require the Google search app. There are two types of
app listings that will appear in search results.
The 'Open in App' feature takes you to
relevant apps that are already on your phone. For this type of app
listing, users have to be signed in to your Google Account so Google
Search can know which apps you already have installed. The “Open in app”
feature is currently supports just 13 apps for now.
Google adds that the new features are still in early stage of
development and once you download one of these apps, “it may take a day
or two for the Open in app button to appear in your search results.”
Finding apps in search results is currently limited to only Android 2.3+
users in the US for now.
