The In App mode of the Google app lets you search inside other apps
Google is adding a new feature to its namesake app - a search mode
named In Apps. This new mode can look into apps on your phone and find
stuff like contacts, songs and notes.
The scope of the In Apps search results is so far limited to apps like Gmail, Spotify and YouTube, but in the future the list of supported apps will include Facebook Mesenger, LinkedIn, and Google Keep, among others. The whole thing works entirely on your phone, so it's accessible offline without Wi-Fi or data connection.
While the feature will be available on most current Android phones, on the LG V20 it will come with a twist. For starters, LG's soon-to-be-announced
phablet will be the first phone to have a dedicated homescreen shortcut
to the In Apps results - others will need to open the Google app and
switch to the respective tab. On top of that, the V20 will also get a
shortcut in its Second Screen - the ticker portion of the phone's
display.
