In-app search for Android rolls out
Google has announced a new search system for Android that will search inside apps such as email, to-do lists, notes, and diaries.
Now, on the home screen search bar, you can choose to search "In Apps" as a filter. Search results will show the apps with content that matches your query. Below the apps will be matching terms indexed in those apps.
So, if you want to search for all mentions of 'dog food' inside email and to-do lists, you don't have to open Gmail and your to-do list to search. Just type it in the search bar.

If that is not enough proof: How about a confession? The Australian Hawthorn Hawks football team announced it was a viral marketing stunt.
The video garnered 5 million views in 48-hours.
