It looks like they are grabbing information from Wikipedia and YouTube. It's not the same as having access to the Netflix database.

Correct but this really wouldn't be the challenging aspect for something like this...
Windows 8 already has the ability to search Netflix outside of Netflix library. Swipe from right to bring charms, select search, type movie title, and tap netflix. You are not searching netflix through netflix but through Win 8 universal search.

That tap of Netflix is you opening the app and searching for what you typed. If you just search the title it doesn't have any results outside of the app.

You're correct. My bad... So yeah, an API would have to be built for Xbox One to connect to external app database. Shouldn't be a big technical challenge or a policy concern in my opinion. This could benefit all content providers as they could get their content discovered much easier and even push their subscription to users that may not have it... If you don't have netflix, but discover it has the content you want and you can get a subscription right then and there....money in the bag baby. :)
