A task as simple as choosing a movie to see can actually be complex —
and the information you want can be in several different places, often
in apps. You might get your trivia from IMDb, the box office stats from
Wikipedia and ratings from Rotten Tomatoes. Starting today, Google can
save you the digging for information in the dozens of apps you use every
day, and get you right where you need to go in those apps with a single
search. Google Search can make your life a little easier by fetching
the answer you need for you — whether it’s on the web, or buried in an
app.
Getting you there faster
Let’s say you’re getting ready for the holidays but can’t remember the name of that classic Christmas movie you want to show your children. Now, you can use Google search to find the movie and learn more about it in one of your favorite apps.

Helping you find just the right app
Sometimes, the best answer for a search can be an app. Say you want to explore downhill skiing — now, you can just ask Google for downhill skiing apps and get a collection of useful apps.
These new features are rolling out now on Android (through the Google Search app
or directly in Chrome and Android browsers). App listings for from
Google Play will appear in search when they’re relevant. You’ll be able
to search within a select number of apps initially (learn more). We’re working with developers to add more over the coming months (if you’re a developer, learn more).
This is just one step toward bringing apps and the web together, making it even easier to get the right information, regardless of where it’s located.
