Yahoo! plans to make video search available to a wider consumer audience tonight.  Yahoo! Video Search beta will be available from the yahoo.com homepage as well as the search homepage (search.yahoo.com).  The Yahoo! video search beta will now be accessing hundreds of feed relationships for both online video as well as broadcast video content including:

Broadcast video content
Yahoo!'s video search product will be the first on the market with ability to search closed captioned content from Bloomberg, BBC and BSkyB as the result of a relationship with TVEyes.

Yahoo! network content
Yahoo! will leverage its established content partner relationships through Yahoo! Movies, Yahoo! Launch and Yahoo! News to including movie trailers, music videos, and news.

Grassroots/Web-based video content
Includes content made available through Media Real Simple Syndication (mRSS) which enables smaller video content publishers to upload their content directly to Yahoo! Video Search. The online community has embraced Yahoo! Video Search and mRSS format that we introduced in December which allows users great access to online video content. Yahoo! also has direct feed relationships with Real, Atom Film, IFilm and Stupid Videos.

Yahoo! Search will continue to expand its relationships with major entertainment content providers to allow for even deeper and real-time content as the product evolves.
