MIT's opencourseware now has video search

MIT Researchers Advance Lecture Capture with Search Capabilities. A Report from the journal.

The functionality of MIT's new technology shares a little in common with traditional search technology from a user perspective. That is, if you enter in a search term, the system calls up a list of results, along with relevant details, such as the title of the lecture, running time, highlighted search terms within the results, etc. And that's where the similarity ends. From this point, clicking on any word within the results calls up not only the relevant lecture, but takes the user to the precise point in the lecture where that term is used.
