Press Release Summary: The Video search engine Lumerias.com broadens its search:
from now on the index will also include videos from public FTP servers. With this
step the service offers an even more complete search for videos and a one-of-a-kind
feature.

Press Release Body: Duisburg, October 16 2007 -- Declared ambition of the
video-focused specialty search engine reachable at http://www.lumerias.com/ is to
make the entirety of online videos searchable through one simple and consistent user
interface.

During the last month a first milestone could be reached by pushing the number of
indexed videos over the 10 million videos mark. With this goal achieved Lumerias.com
gathers results from all major social video websites and more from all over the web.

But the Internet is more than the contents available through the World Wide Web
(WWW). An estimated 450 million files are stored on public FTP (File Transfer
Protocol) servers - dedicated servers without graphical interface for the storage of
files, acting much like a remote hard disk.

A part of the files available on these servers through anonymous FTP are video
files. This is why Lumerias.com now indexes over 5,000 FTP servers, which is about
75% of all public FTP servers worldwide. By adding this feature the search service
now makes another and a relatively unknown layer of the Internet utilisable for its
users.

Lumerias.com is currently the only video search engine crawling FTP sites and
filtering them for videos!
