Indexing an application locally and displaying search results on Google

Question

I read about the indexing API introduced in Google IO 2014 (developers.google.com/app-indexing/webmasters/appindexingapi). One feature that I am missing (or cannot find) is local indexing of applications.

I will use an example: I want to find my local content for me. I am creating an application in which each user has different data. Just like notes from Google Keep or Evernote. I would like to provide Google search data for this phone only.

Am I right that this is not possible at this stage? Any ideas if Google will do this in the future?

Answer 1

I think this can be done by implementing the search interface and setting the includeInGlobalSearch flag in the searchable.xml file. But in 4.4 this parameter has been removed .
