Video Search Engines

Blinkx

Search by keyword for news clips, television shows, movies and other videos. Results appear in preview mode when available. This means the best match will begin to play when the search results load. Technical note: The site requires that you activate javascript. The time it took to run a search on the day we tested the site seemed longer than at comparable sites.

Google Video

Google Video indexes TV shows, movie clips, music videos, documentaries and personal video productions. Search by keyword or other advanced commands (e.g., title:, site:, inurl:). Additional qualifiers include language, duration, source and genre. Note: Truveo has more news sources than Google Video.
