日前，号称全球第一大独立应用商店的GetJar公司宣布与雅虎网站合作，在Yahoo! Mobile页面添加GetJar应用搜索引擎。

GetJar称应用产品将通过关键字定义，显示在该网站搜索结果中。例如，用户输入“运动”一词，就会看到系统筛选出的符合条件的应用产品，这样才能鼓励用户去下载应用，而非显示海量信息，浇灭用户原先的搜索热情。

据悉，该公司称该项目正在美国进行测试，预计2011年将推出面向国际市场的正式版本。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

GetJar partners with Yahoo! to integrate apps into mobile search

Already the self-proclaimed largest independent app store on the planet, GetJar has announced a deal with Yahoo! that should see its roster of free apps hitting scores more handsets in the coming months.

Revealed via GetJar’s developer blog, the two companies have entered a partnership that will see GetJar apps appear in search results on Yahoo! Mobile.

Profitable partnership

GetJar claims the apps will show up in category defined results.

For example, any search for ‘sport’ will see a selection of appropriate apps show up in the results, enticing the consumer towards a download rather than hampering their initial query.

“The GetJar team is thrilled to share that Yahoo! is now starting test integration of GetJar apps – all 75,000 plus of them – into Yahoo! mobile search queries to make it easier for people to discover the apps they’re looking for when on-the-go,” said GetJar founder and CEO Ilja Laurs.

“Yahoo! is the first search engine to pursue this kind of integration and we at GetJar couldn’’ be happier about making application discovery faster, easier, and simpler, regardless of handset, country, or platform.”

GetJar claims the set up is currently being tested in the US, with an international roll out in additional countries expected in 2011.（source:pocketgamer）
