Um, what? You really think the only use case for video search is finding particular clips with known titles? There's an entire industry around stock photos/videos that right now relies almost entirely on manual tagging, you don't think that field's ripe for search? Or the petabytes of video being streamed from security cameras, you don't think anyone out there wants to search that for faces or license plates or whatever? Video search is going to be absolutely killer, and Google's sitting on top of the largest, most varied training corpus in the world, thanks to YouTube.
