Yahoo Video Search Beta

Posted by michael on from the to-boldly-search-where-no-man-has-searched-before dept.

An anonymous reader sent in some pointers to Yahoo rolling out a video search tool. We've mentioned searching digital video previously, and AltaVista (remember them?) also has a video search available.

  1. Can't really see this working. by MetalliQaZ · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Even if the text that yahoo actually searches can accurately point to an appropriate video, how long with those videos stay on the host server before the they are removed to save on bandwidth wastage. Google's image search is already practially dead, this can't be any better. Good gimmick tho...

    scour media search about 3 years back. It was wonderfun until it started killing servers.
