Video search engine blinkx has expanded its content offering by striking partnerships with two leading UK media owners, the Guardian and Five.
Its users will be able to view video highlights from Five News and the Guardian. The agreement with Five also gives blinkx users access to Sky News content.
Suranga Chandratillake, blinkx's founder and chief executive, said the addition of news content would boost the search engine's offering. Last month, it struck a deal with the BBC to index content available via the corporation's iPlayer.
The company uses speech and video recognition, as well as text to accurately index videos, and has more than 10 million hours of searchable content.
