From Google's side I think this is about mitigating the threat of iOS 9 native app search capabilities. iOS users will build the habbit of swiping down to search for anything. Their native indexing support means Facebook results will just start popping up. Where is google in this picture? Google search needs to work great with facebook content everywhere (web, mobile, etc)

- bestnameever 11y agoMaybe but IIRC Google announced supporting app indexing on iOS prior to Apple announcing deep link searching in iOS9 and was already supporting it on Android 2 years[0] prior despite Facebook decision to support it today. I see this more along the lines of Google continuing their objective of getting us the information we want when we want it. Mitigating threats to competitors is just really a benefit of them continuing their innovation with search.
