NEW YORK Blinkx plans to introduce a new consumer service designed to bring search results to users in several different computer programs.

Called Pico, the downloadable file sets up a set of customizable channel buttons on the top of users’ desktops, giving them instant access to search results based on the content of the screen. The search results include several types of content, such as Web search, Wikipedia entries, MySpace profiles and video clips.

Blinkx has partnered with Miva to show contextual ads tied to the Pico application.
