Blinkx just signed a deal with iFilm which will be added as another content channel that’s searchable on blinkx.tv. At the moment, Blinkx is searching the metadata attached to the video files, But they’ve also kicked off a transcription-based index of all content, which will catch up over the first few weeks of the agreement. So in a month or so, you could jump to the exact moment in the Crossfire show where Jon Stewart takes a swipe at Tucker Carlson’s bowtie. Clearly as video search becomes more important these kind of enhancements are going to come in handy.
