The GamingApp Search Extension is believed to be a renamed version of the ArcadeApp Search that served as the basis for the GamesFriendly Search app by Friendlyappz.com and the gamesNet Search app by Medianetnow.com. The GamingApp Search program changes your primary search provider to play.eanswers.com which redirects Web surfers to h[tt]ps://search.yahoo[.]com/yhs/search?hspart=iba&hsimp=yhs-1&type=16ds_6347_CHW_EN&p=[search terms].

PC users receive access to a standard search service by Yahoo that may include ad customizations from Eanswers.com. However, the GamingApp Search Extension does not deliver gaming content ton its own. You may be redirected to third-party services and receive invitations to install freemium games.
