The search giant does not host any app directory itself, but has release a dedicated search engine for both the Apple and Google controlled market places

perhaps I'm missing the point but why do we need this?

I can easily search for apps either in iTunes or directly on the phone in the App Store app, and I always find what I want.

Of course we only need one search engine. The question is which one? I am sure you are glad Larry and Sergey started Google and gave Yahoo something to compete against? You could say the same thing back in 1998: Who needs Google, I can find anything I want by using Yahoo.

And isn't competition one of those things that drive the world forwards. The creative minds in Google and Apple must be doing something better than Yahoo to keep the competition away.
