Windows® Phone 8 Unleashed

Summary

This chapter began with an overview of search quick cards and outlined the steps to navigate from a search result to an app. It then looked at associating your app with predefined search categories, via the WMAppManifest.xml file and the Extras.xml file. Next, it demonstrated two ways for performing redirection within your app, via a search deep-link URI.

The chapter then looked at creating a simple landing page that displays quick card information.

Finally, the chapter looked at retrieving the search query when your app is launched directly from search results, via App Instant Answer.
