Google Blog

We’ve just rolled out several search improvements to help you find the videos you want to see quickly and easily. Let’s say you’re searching for mentos and diet coke videos and you want to see those with the highest ratings. Just select “sort by rating” from the drop down menu, and presto! - now the results are sorted so you can easily see the highest rated videos from your search. When ranking the results by rating, we take into account a bunch of different factors such as relevance to your query, rating of the video, popularity and more.

Another new search improvement is the ability to search within a label. Let’s say you want to find all the videos of Zidane labeled as [soccer] . No problem! Search for [label: soccer zidane], and we’ll show you all the Zidane videos that also have the label “soccer”.

Now get going on your must-see list!

Wanna see a recent National Hockey League game you missed? How about reliving a classic like Game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup Final between the New York Rangers and Vancouver Canucks? To celebrate the NHL’s 89th season, starting today fans around the world will be able to watch in-season full-length games on Google Video. Besides watching games, you can also post and view your own content at the same place. So even if you can’t make it to the arena to see pucks flying around at 100 mph, Google Video can be your place for fast-paced NHL action. Be careful out there!
