Blinkx 2.0, available as beta software, will be released within the next two weeks. Blinkx, which is free, takes the form of a toolbar that appears across applications such as Microsoft's Office and Outlook and Web browsers, and generates both proactive and reactive search results. Proactive searches require keywords or full sentence queries, while reactive searches deliver results based on a summarization of a document's content.
Blinkx can search a variety of formats, ranging from Microsoft Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word to Adobe's PDF, and JPG, video, and MP3 files. And its searches can be aimed at specific channels, including local files, the Web (news, shopping, and business sites), and Weblogs. Soon after the 2.0 release, peer-to-peer MP3 file searching will be added, and Mac support is planned, too. :)
