In-Depth Information
you're searching, so you see immediately that the level of detail in search
results is very useful, though you might not get as many results as you would
on other video search engines.
Let's go back to the example we've been using for this entire section, glau-
coma. If you run a search for glaucoma on YouTube, you get fewer results
than other engines (15 as of this writing), but you also get information like
tags, user ratings, duration, and context (
Figure 8.10
). So there's more detail
here than there is even in the Yahoo Video search results.
Figure 8.10 Youtube has limited results with lots of detail.
When you click on the name of a video you go to that video's page. Here you
can see how many times a video's been viewed, what it's rating is (YouTube
users can rate a video up to 5 stars; not all videos are rated) and see com-
ments on the video (
Figure 8.11
). (Oten comments point to other similar
videos.) Detail pages for videos also have pointers to related videos, which
might give you ideas for tags or ideas to search.
