The Google Documentation.

I need to have my App called on searches in the style:

search for cat videos on youtube

How does Google Now determine which App should be called? Obviously, it takes youtube in the example case, but how is that used?

The reason for my question, is that the App that I am working on does not get called when I provide a character for character correct search on the Apps name. The Apps name has 3 words, would that be an issue? Is there a way that I can provide multiple strings for Google Now to react upon to ensure my App gets a chance to fire.

When I issue this test command, the App is called perfectly:

adb shell am start -a com.google.android.gms.actions.SEARCH_ACTION --es query "Bang" com.package.name

An example command I would give might be:

search for Bang on TV Search Engine
