Yahoo tests video search engine

CNET News.com

Yahoo "has been developing a service that will let people search for video clips from across the Internet in much the way they do for Web pages and images. Late Wednesday, the company introduced a beta site for the product on its development page, at Next.yahoo.com. It will search for files in Windows Media, Apple's QuickTime and Real Media."

Multi media search is said to be the next big thing in search...

"the Internet is maturing into an entertainment platform for television, via convergence devices that combine PC and TV features, and search will be essential for people to find and watch media, whether its available over broadband, pay-per-view cable or broadcast..."

The article also details the moves by Google and Microsoft in multimedia search.
