Google is setting up partnerships with app developers to allow the search company to scan their app’s content. That means that Google Now will be able to give you a button to launch an app directly to the information that relevant to your query, not just a web page.Ah, OK. This is probably the biggest difference between App Indexing and the existing apps that intercepts URL intents, which i was confused about.

It will be huge if a third party app, like Yelp, Foursquare or Open Table shows up as I walk into a restaurant/cafe.
