Google delivers search app for Windows 8 with a touch of tablet optimization

Google has launched a dedicated search app for Windows 8 ahead of Friday’s official release of the OS. Google Search for Windows 8 is now available free in the Windows Store and will be an alternative to Bing, which is the default search engine in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.

The Google Search app for Windows is not only a search app, but also a portal to other Google services, including Gmail, Calendar, Maps, Drive and Reader. The main interface has a simple large search bar, and includes voice search, so you can speak your search query.
