Imagine that the traditional search engines for the web have disappeared and there are only catalogs-lists of sites with descriptions of webmasters.
What will you have to do? Visit each site from the list in search of the information you need. Not the most convenient option. This was the case on the Internet many years ago. The situation is similar now with mobile applications.
That is why RIWW has launched a new unique osmino apps service.
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.osmino.apps)
It’s a cool thing to search through the contents of mobile apps.
What’s cool about the new search?
The new service allows smartphone users to get answers to their questions in the search engine in a convenient format that is most suitable for a mobile device – in the form of content from mobile applications, and not sites with banners, SEO texts and other captcha;
gives you the opportunity to find out what is contained inside the application, even before downloading. That is, now the user can search for applications not only according to the descriptions given by the developers themselves, for example, with promises of a bunch of cool movies, but immediately ask our search engine for the movie he is interested in – and we will tell him which application he needs to download (of course, where there is a movie he is interested in!), and straight we will send it to Google Play or another market where the corresponding application is located;
The service is useful for both users and developers of applications with high-quality content.
Applications for osmino apps – approximately like sites for a regular search engine.
The index already has more than one and a half million pieces of content from applications, including ivi.ru , Wikipedia, Championship.ru and many others.
Indexing new applications – how to get into osminoAny application can potentially get into the indexed list – it’s free and quite profitable for all three parties: on the one hand, the end application developers who receive traffic from the search engine, on the other hand, the authors of the service who increase the reach of the search engine, and on the third, happy users.
Indexing content inside applications requires: access to the content to be indexed, a URI scheme. (more details can be found here)
Applications are being actively indexed now, by the end of the year osmino will index the vast majority of Russian-language applications.
Next, we will proceed to indexing English-language content.
At the moment, we are, in fact, developing a standard for indexing applications. All mobile application developers are invited to participate.
The main focus is still on Android apps, but there are already apps in the index for iOS. The company will start focusing on them a little later – after the end of the development of the iOS application.
The web version of application search was recently launched apps.osmino.com , which allows users to search through the content of applications and from a PC.
