BLINKX 3.0 FIRST FULLY INTEGRATED SEARCH TOOL
Blinkx today announced the release of blinkx 3.0, the world’s first fully integrated search tool. With blinkx 3.0 users can, for the first time, view results from the desktop, the Internet, television and the news in a single, combined list. blinkx, which is free to download at www.blinkx.com and already has more than one million users, has been changing the way people think about search since its launch in Summer 2004. This release is just the latest innovative milestone for blinkx, building on its unique Implicit Query (IQ) technology, and offering users unparalleled functionality across content from television, the internet and their desktops.
blinkx, a recognized technology leader in the search industry with a strong reputation for pre-empting established players, today became the first player to offer users fully integrated search and a true single click search experience. blinkx users can now link directly to results from their hard drive, the internet, news and even television, all from a single search result list. Breaking the traditional content barriers that exist between information on a user’s machine and internet and television content, blinkx generates an integrated results set, spanning a user’s entire information landscape. Version 3.0 of the software also uses blinkx’s Implicit Query (IQ) technology to link users straight to relevant information from the application where they are currently working. Without having to actively or explicitly fire off a search or even choose words to search on, IQ uses intelligent analysis of the page a user is reading or writing to find related information, again regardless of its source, whether the local computer, the internet or television.

I like the one source feature. That makes search much more simple and efficient. But I wonder if the single search route is as effective as the old way.
