Search engine Google sets sights on video

USATODAY.com - Search engine Google sets sights on video Search engine Google sets sights on video By Jefferson Graham, USA TODAY Internet search giant Google's next target: video. Monday night, Google (GOOG) introduced a test site that searches closed-caption TV show transcripts (www.google.com/video). What the site won't let you do is locate specific video clips, even though some smaller video search engines offer that. Google says clips will come in the next version.

Yahoo said it also will add searchable news video clips — currently unavailable. Google is working with transcripts from ABC, PBS, C-Span and Fox News.
