Google+ has released some API’s including  including search. Developers are available to include the ability to search public Google+ posts and people on Google+ in their applications. The documentation can be found here and here respectively. “Our first API release let you retrieve public posts,” says Google+ API software engineer Jordanna Chord. “We’ve now added ways for you to see how people are publicly engaging with those posts — you can find out who reshared a post or who +1’d a post, and you can read the comments on a post.” For that, developers can use the method people.listByActivity. Documentation on that here. Developer use of the Google+ APIs will be key in making Google’s social network more useful across a variety of applications. APIs certainly worked wonders for making Twitter relevant to more people.
