Xoopit Launches Email Media Search

Xoopit, the social webmail plugin that indexes your Gmail account’s media attachments, has launched Gmail Media Search. The new feature compliments Gmail’s standard text search by including a sidebar that lists file attachments, photos, and videos. The Gmail Media Search sidebar separates search results by type, offering thumbnails of the top matches from each category in a manner that resembles Apple’s Spotlight. Users can also hone their searches by only listing content that has been received from certain contacts. Xoobit goes beyond simply searching through attachments by crawling your inbox for links to media. This means that when someone sends you a link to a Flickr album, the photos within that album with be indexed and searchable as well. For now Xoopit is only available for Gmail, but the company has plans to expand to other webmail platforms like Yahoo Mail and AOL in the near future.
