Google Displays “Video” in Search Options

ByNalts August 9, 2006

Google is taking one more step to getting serious about online video. Getting real estate on the homepage of Google is like trying to install a golf course in Manhattan. But once you’ve searched something, you’ll notice a “Video: New” icon that allows you to refine your search. See below for example.
The searches appear to be drawing exclusively from Google Video’s content (not indexing beyond) and is a little twitchy. But I won’t complain because if you search “YouTube” two of my videos have top listing. Which helps me in my personal mission to provoke the AT&T of online video.
