And at Yahoo, video search
As Google released its TV search, Yahoo released a video search of its own. It does not search TV programs, but it does search for video on the Web. It searches for files in the standard video formats -- AVI, MPEG, Quicktime, Windows Media and Real. Results display as a still image. Click the image to launch the video.
It struck me that this could be useful for finding video to use as demonstrative evidence. I tried searching "heart valve," and found a number of videos illustrating various functions of the heart. Next I tried "accident reconstruction," and again found a number of results. Of course, you can also use it to search for movie trailers or even some of the Web's more unseemly offerings.

check out blinkxtv.com, yahoo is pretty good..but google was so unimpressive! i couldnt get over it. i ran into blinkxtv over the holidays and it actaully allows you to watch real video! unlike google which just shows images...blinkx also has tons of channels to search though.. i highly recomend this site
