GadgetMadness: We find the coolest gadgets first

Google has been indexing the closed captioning for several Bay Area stations since December, and have now launched their Video Search Beta. The search results will give you a list of the shows that contain your search terms, and the details page will show screenshots of what was going on when those words were uttered. You can even see a listing of when the show will be replayed.

The plan here, I guess, is to get to the point where you can search for text that appeared in any show that was aired anywhere at any time and get back a list of video clips that you can view.

Given this, the purchase of Picasa (which is a spiffy little program in its own right) and the rumors of a web browser in the works, it's really hard to see where Google is headed these days. World domination? Maybe.
