Google rolls out TV search prototype

"Google introduced late Monday a prototype of a service to search TV programming, an anticipated move to broaden its search franchise for broadcast...find the TV shows in which it was mentioned, a still image of the video and closed-captioning text of that particular segment of the program...For now, people will not be able to watch the video clip, nor will the Web pages contain the company's signature text advertising. But Google expects to add video playback down the road..."

Although, Yahoo already has a beta video search site where you can search for actual videos based on your search term.

Thanks Mark! I forgot to put up the link to the site! I was engrossed with those playb... I mean fungi videos over at yahoo...
