Google Video Search Unveiled

Hot Damn! Google has just unveiled Video Search!!! It looks like Blinkx TV has got some competition now. But there’s one catch… there are no viewable video clips available, just screenshots. However, it’s inferred that they will be enabled in the near future. One interesting feature, though, is that once you select the broadcast you’re interested in, Google breaks down the whole broadcast into timed, mini-captioned segments featuring the word, terms, keyword, etc. you were looking for.
About Google Video:
Our mission is to organize the world’s information, and that includes the thousands of programs that play on our TVs every day. Google Video enables you to search a growing archive of televised content – everything from sports to dinosaur documentaries to news shows.Comments | Post via Twitter / Facebook ID or Register
Just type in your search term (for instance, ipod or Napa Valley) or do a more advanced search (for instance, title:nightline) and Google Video will search the closed captioning text of all the programs in our archive for relevant results. Click on a program title on your results page and you can look through short snippets of the text along with still images from the show. Visit the “About this show” side panel to learn when this show will air next.
Right now we’re just testing this product, so you’ll find programs only from a limited number of channels, which we’ve been indexing since late December 2004. You can expect to see more and more content as we continue to add new channels.
