On ReadWrite Web, Adriana Lee says, “The problem that developers face when building an app as opposed to a website is that an app is often left out of search results from Google. Given that Google is the single biggest driver of traffic on the Internet, being left out of search results is kind of a problem.

Google is fixing that.

Google announced a new feature for developers in Android 4.4, KitKat, today that allows for apps to show up in Google’s search results. “App Indexing” is new feature that puts handy links (or “deep links”) to a user’s mobile apps amid typical Google search results”.
