Last year Sergey Brin said that Google had no plans to introduce video search, and listed off the various reasons why.
So how to explain the launch earlier today of Google Video Search?!
Was Brin lying? So much for Google's "don't be evil" motto! (Unless lying isn't evil any more. Hmmmm. It's so hard to keep up.)
In truth, the search is limited to close-caption TV segments from US networks. This is another of Google's technology seeds -- it's anyone's guess as to which will bear fruit.

Google's tv search is pretty mediocre. It isn't really tv search. There's no real moving video. I don't think this idea of their's is going to go anywhere.
i agree with you on that bruce. google just hasnt gotten it yet. there are no video clips and audio. it just more searching. Have you checked out blinkxtv.com? they are a small start up, but i like what i have seen. they released a video search in like dec. and its really neat. i ran across it last month. check it out if you want video clips
