Blinkx, the popular video search engine has [announced a new partnership with National Geographic][1] that will add hundreds of hours of the National Geographic content to Blinkx's search results. 

Blinkx users can now search for National Geographic shows like Explorer, The Dog Whisperer and Naked Science.

Blinkx searches rely on speech recognition technology to index content which the company claims delivers better search results than metadata-based searches. In order to take advantage of the supposedly more accurate search techniques Blinkx has partnered with around 150 companies to index their content.

National Geographic also partners with [Joost][2] to provide content through the streaming internet service.

Today's Blinkx deal gives National Geographic fans yet another way to find, watch and link to their favorite show.
