Searchforvideo doesn't ofer advanced search, so you need to rely on key-
words to narrow your search down. On the other hand, you can get RSS
feeds for your search results, so you won't have to rely on a page monitor.
Yahoo Video
Yahoo Video has a monster number of videos indexed, so general searches
get you in trouble here (video.search.yahoo.com). On the other hand, it's
also got a great Advanced Search page, so you have several options besides
keywords for narrowing your search. On the front page are featured videos,
with tabs available for Popular Videos, Videos by Category, and Tag.
A search for glaucoma delivers 299 results as of this writing, which is far more
than Google Video or Searchforvideo. Fortunately, the Search Results page
brings you an excellent level of detail, providing information such as the ile
type of the video, length of the video, and source (
Figure 8.8
). At a glance you
can tell if a video is ten seconds long (probably not very useful) or an hour (an
hour long video devoted to your topic could prove very useful).

Yahoo Video will bring you a lot of search results, fortunately via an excellent results page.
