Yahoo Launches Video Search, yahoo search now introduces a new feature which enables people to search for videos

Yahoo has launched the new yahoo video search, where people can search for videos, This is what they say in their blog on how to make a video enter the yahoo video search engine,

When we started thinking about how to make it easier for anyone to expose video

and other rich media content, one of the first things we thought of was

podcasting and RSS. Podcasting uses RSS Enclosures to provide an audio file

along with a news item or blog posting in an RSS feed.

So rather than build

a completely new way to do this, we decided to see what it takes to make RSS

Enclosures work for video content as well: video enclosures. It’s not a new idea

but we think it’s one whose time has come.

At the most basic level, this is

just a matter of pointing to a video instead of an MP3 file.

Instead of

this:

You could use this:

For many publishers, that’s all

it takes. The beauty of this is that there’s existing infrastructure for

handling simple enclosures. Many RSS readers already consume enclosures just

fine.

In the very near future the Yahoo! Video Search crawler will support

indexing video enclosures in RSS feeds.
