Me personally, I only want to search my installed apps and the web and don't like that these app suggestions have such high priority over them. It's kinda obnoxious IMO.

Can mark this fixed since suggested apps have been removed outright.

This issue isn't just about those particular apps showing up, but suggested apps in general. Any app can still show up in the suggestions. 

I don't believe this should be marked fixed yet.
Nope, I opened this for the suggested Android apps in the Launcher.
