Firefox with Greasemonkey (All platforms): Previously mentioned video search site VideoSurf has released a Greasemonkey script that embeds its "visual summary" strips into search results from Google, Yahoo, YouTube, CBS, and (most likely) wherever else you dig through streaming Flash videos. In other (actually VideoSurf's) words, you don't have to get Rick-Rolled if you really don't want to. Not every...

Search engines are great at retrieving textual information, but even though a lot of search results today are actually videos, most search engines still only display a text link to those videos. A new Greasemonkey script from VideoSurf changes this by adding small film strips to every video that appears in your search results on Google and Yahoo, as well as to every video on YouTube's search results...

Video search and identification tool VideoSurf has a new script for Greasemonkey users that lets you see VideoSurf-enhanced results on Google, Yahoo and Youtube. If a result has been indexed by VideoSurf you'll see its timeline, along with links to each segment which skip you straight to that part of the video. VideoSurf is advertising this as a way to see video results before you click on them, similar...

Search site and aggregator VideoSurf isn't perfect at what it tries to do, but it can be occasionally, surprisingly good at spotting particular faces inside videos. The indexing engine (currently in beta, of course) sorts through videos from most of the popular Flash-based sites and lets you search to find only videos with, say, Jerry Seinfeld's actual image in them. A few of my searches turned up...

Last week I discovered that Picasa came out with an awesome new feature whereby it can now find all the faces of people in your pictures and then find more pictures of the same person using facial recognition and comparison technology.

Filed under: Internet , Video , Web services , Beta , Search , web 2.0 VideoSurf is a new search engine for web video. But unlike most video search engines, which let you find the video you're looking for and then leave you on your own, VideoSurf can point you to specific content inside a video. For example, say you're searching for Battlestar Galactica episodes. You just type the name of the show...

Today's Web search engines are driven primarily by searching for text keywords. This works fairly well when what you are searching for is words; but it fails pretty miserably when you are searching for video. Video search is almost entirely dependent on someone taking the time to manually (and accurately) add text tags to videos to make them searchable. This is all about to change, however, if VideoSurf's...

Video search is an unsolved problem. VideoSurf applies hardcore computer vision technology to this problem and finds relevant results beyond what may already be available to text-based search methods. In the demo at TechCrunch50, the startup showed how you might want to search for a scene in the show Entourage. You can drill down to the show, and then are presented with thumbnails of all of the characters,...
