What is Yahoo! App Search?

Yahoo! App Search was a web search engine provided by Yahoo! that allowed users to search for mobile and web applications. It was launched in 2009 to help users discover new apps across platforms like iOS, Android, Windows and the web.

Some key features of Yahoo! App Search included:

• Search and browse through over 500,000 apps
• View app descriptions, screenshots, ratings and reviews
• Filter search results by platform, category, price, age rating and more
• See personalized app recommendations based on your interests and preferences
• Easy integration into other sites through Yahoo!'s developer tools

Yahoo! App Search aimed to be a one-stop destination for finding the best apps. It provided more details than traditional app stores, aggregating content, ratings and reviews from multiple sources. The search engine helped users cut through the noise to find the right apps for their needs.

However, in 2015 Yahoo! shut down Yahoo! App Search as part of broader company changes and shifts in strategy. Much of its app data and recommendations capabilities moved over to Yahoo's general web search engine.
