Vertical search engine provider Convera Corp. said today that it is developing a Web search function for ProGames Network targeting online gamers.

The search solution will enable ProGames Network's user community to dig into Web content as they search for games reviews, video feeds and other important content. The deal states that Convera and ProGames will share advertising revenue.

"Serious online gamers spend up to 30 hours a week online and continually search for content that lies beyond the reach of most search engines," said Kurt Gastrock, Convera's chief operating officer, in a prepared statement.

ProGames Network is a subsidiary of wireless provider MobilePro Corp.
