Introducing: Application Rich Snippets

Wednesday, September 14, 2011

It's been a while since we published this blog post. Some of the information may be outdated (for example, some images may be missing, and some links may not work anymore). For a current list of supported rich results, check thesearch gallery.

Rich snippets help users determine more quickly if a particular web page has the information they're interested in. We've previously introduced rich snippets forshopping,recipes,reviews,video, andevents, and most recentlymusic.

Before you install a software application, users might want to check out what others think about it, and how much it costs. We are pleased to announce that starting today, you'll be able to get this information right in search results.

Here's an example of what an application snippet looks like.
