[Amazon's](http://www.engadget.com/tag/amazon/) [augmented reality](http://www.engadget.com/tag/augmentedreality/) app for bargain hunters on-the-go, [Flow](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Amazon+Flow/), just got a bit handier with the recent addition of deeper search functionality. [Released initially on iOS](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/03/amazon-flow-strikes-low-blow-to-brick-and-mortar-converts-barco/) in November of 2011 and subsequently made [available to Android users](http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/02/amazon-flow-augmented-reality-android-app/) this past July, the app allows users to browse and compare prices in Amazon's inventory by scanning items in brick-and-mortar shops. And now, with this latest Android-only update, users will also be able to incorporate text, URLs and phone numbers into their image queries, as well as scan and receive data on a slew of items in one pass. It's live now on Google Play, so hit up the source below to get your download started.
