IPhone and Android Users Can Now Google Apps

Yesterday, Google introduced a feature to its mobile search engine that will match app-related search terms to applicable iPhone apps and show them at the top of the results page. The results will link directly to the App Store so you can search and buy with ease.

While the iPhone update is the most interesting aspect given the tension between Apple and Google lately, Android also gets the new feature. Android users searching Google will get results that include apps from the Android market.

Here’s what Google had to say in its blog:

As of today, if you go to Google.com on your iPhone or Android-powered device and search for an app, we’ll show special links and content at the top of the search results. You can tap these links to go directly to the app’s Android Market or iPhone App Store page. You can also get a quick look at some of the app’s basic details including the price, rating, and publisher. These results will appear when your search pertains to a mobile application and relevant, well-rated apps are found. For example, try searching for download shazam on your Android-powered device or bank of america app on your iPhone.

Apps are now just a simple Google search away. [via TG Daily]
