Google has acquired a Chinese search-engine company that aims to find the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.
The acquisition, announced on Monday, is part of Google’s larger efforts to bring search to billions of users worldwide.
The company’s search technology is part in a wider effort to provide more personal and professional services to users.
The search giant said it is now part of an alliance that will help to develop search technologies that are relevant to users around the world.
“We are excited to partner with the leading search engine provider to create new search technology to assist with the search of missing aircraft,” Google said in a statement.
The news comes amid growing international pressure on China to find MH370, which was last seen in March 2014 over the South China Sea.
A series of increasingly detailed satellite photos and radar images suggest the Boeing 777 disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.
It is the biggest-ever search operation to date, involving more than 50 countries.
