Pico, the world's smallest search engine, is a free 1MB download available from blinkx. Pico is an entirely new way to navigate the next-generation Internet.
Today, searching the Web is a disruptive experience - users are forced to interrupt the activity they have at hand, go to a search engine, enter a search and examine the results for relevant material. Pico revolutionizes the search process, by bringing relevant information to users, and organizing it for them, proactively and automatically. Pico does the searching for you, constantly updating its query, based on what's on your screen at any point in time.
Pico appears as an unobtrusive series of channels at the top of your desktop, each representing a different type of content: news, blogs, video, Web, Wikipedia, images, shopping, and "people", which retrieves information from online communities, including MySpace.
As you work, Pico reads your active screen, infers the meaning of what you're looking at based on context, and then dynamically retrieves relevant information from across the Web, including next-generation Web content, such as blogs and rich media. It works invisibly, so that you only see the results of its search if you click on a relevant channel.
Pico also allows you to easily create Smart Folders based on the content that is active on your screen. With Pico, you can save what you are reading or writing as a search and blinkx will automatically populate a Smart Folder on your desktop with related content. In addition, you will benefit from a feature called Pico View, which unifies the results of all six Pico channels in a single pane.
