Google Search on iphone now includes iphone app results

Jun 12, 2010

As apps continue to proliferate in the iPhone App Store, finding relevant information on the web about these apps is becoming more important to help you decide which apps to download.

In addition to helping you find the mobile app information you’re looking for, Google Search for mobile now also makes it easier for you to get the actual apps themselves while you’re searching!

If you go to Google.com on your iPhone and search for an app, Google will now show special links and content at the top of the search results.

You can tap these links to go directly to the app’s 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.

Mobile app search results are available today in the US, with other countries and devices planned for the future.
