The Google Search app for Android is getting an update that will allow users to play podcast directly from search results.

Google says:

To try it out, search for a podcast and you’ll see three recent episodes, a play button for each, and an option to see more episodes. Podcasts are available globally in English. With controls at the bottom of your screen to play/pause, rewind or fast-forward, you’ll be free to browse the web on your phone while you listen — or even turn off your screen. The podcast will keep playing in the background until you’re done.

This new feature comes just a couple of days after podcasts were added to the Google Play Music app. You can check out the official Android Central Podcast in Google Play right here.
