Google lets users install apps via search results

You may no longer need to leave your Google search results page to install apps on your Android device. A new feature in the Google app on Android will let you bypass Google Play Store for installing apps but you’ll still see the same app permissions and install popups you’d find if you installed from the Play Store. These apps you can install will appear at the top of your search results with an Install button attached to it. It’s not yet released to all Android users but Google seems to be widening the user base that can use the feature. At the moment, this feature is limited to the Google app and not on Chrome.
