Google announced recently that it has improved its mobile search service to allow users to find applications both online and in mobile application stores. As expected, users will be able to find apps in Android’s Market from within search. But they will also be able to find applications in Apple’s App Store, making it a useful application for those who don’t want to use the built-in search in those stores.
For its part, Google is being careful to give users the option of finding apps within search without pushing them in one direction or another. It’s a smart move. It also shows how powerful Google has become.
