Google Video
Google has introduced a new service called "Google Video". This engine (still in beta) enables users to search the text of TV shows. Right now, video playback is not included.
If you know the name of the TV program, you can use the "title" syntax. For example: title:tonight show
It also provides timings of upcoming episodes for a specified show and zipcode.
Yahoo also launced the beta of its video search engine on Jan 15, 2005.

Google's new Video Search is still pretty raw. It's easy to use, but that is about it. It is quite frustrating to find a segment of video but not be able to view it. I have checked out a few new services and so far, I like BlinkxTV. Check it out and see for yourself. It is just as easy, if not easier to use than Google (especially if you can't remember the name of the show or program) and you can actually view the segments of video you find.
