On Google Play, the search results depend on the query. If you enter a non-branded query on a narrow topic, such as “traffic police fines download” or a branded query like “Facebook”, **the app with the largest number of downloads** will be in first place highlighted by a large card **in the cluster output**.\
Google Play will show cluster output, that is, **several blocks of recommendations** from Google, which separate the search output between the first and second app. Only in cluster output will screenshots of apps appear in search. Google Play can also show a time-limited event below the first app here.

If the query is general, such as “fitness”, you will see a list of apps related to this query. Here Google Play can also show time-limited offers from related apps.

This list of apps may appear for certain branded queries, although the criteria for its display are unclear.
