The BBC has revamped its search engine to include a new audio-visual search capability, a new user interface and 'enhanced usability and quality'.
For the first time, users will be able to search selected television and radio programmes in addition to audio and video content from the BBC's News, Radio and Sports archive of more than 300,000 clips and programmes.
The change means users will be able to quickly and easily find EastEnders highlights, the latest edition of the Archers and the Chris Moyles Show.
A limited amount of the BBC's audio and video content will be initially available, with the full range likely to be made available later this year.
Ashley Highfield, the BBC's director of New Media & Technology, said: "This re-launch marks the first stage in our aim of creating services that enable our audiences to find BBC content - whether text, audio or video - through ever easier navigation. It's also a first step towards a radical overhaul of our website. It will open up an initial index of around 300,000 clips and a selection of BBC programmes for the first time."
