Google rolls out TV search

Posted by Eric at 1:53 pm. Filed under: General

Wow, this is cool:

Google introduced late Monday a prototype of a service to search TV programming, an anticipated move to broaden its search franchise for broadcast.

As previously reported, the Mountain View, Calif.-based company has been quietly developing Google Video, an engine that lets people search the text of TV shows. Immediately, the service will scour programming from PBS, Fox News, C-SPAN, ABC, and the NBA, among others, making broadcasts searchable the same day.

They’re doing this using closed-captioning text. Pretty slick.
