Following the acquisition of Divide, a startup that helps companies manage the mobile devices, Google is now said to have closed the deal on another startup dubbed Baarzo.

Baarzo is understood to be a ‘true video search’ service, as it describes itself on its page. It lets users find specific moments inside a video with the help of an auto detect feature for people, objects and actions. Baarzo’s acquisition by Google is said to help the company improve its YouTube search feature. Both firms declined to comment on this matter.
