Google is ready to expand its experimentation with video search this week by allowing individuals to submit video to the search engine. Google co-founder Larry Page on Monday disclosed the company's plan to begin accepting video submissions during a session here at the 2005 National Show, a cable industry conference and tradeshow. The move would be the next step for Google's video search effort, which so far has focused on making broadcast TV content searchable.

"In the next few days we'll start taking video submissions from people," said Page, Google's president of products. "And we're not sure what we're going to get with it." Google entered the video search arena in January with a Google Labs project that indexes programming information and closed-captioning content from such networks as PBS, Fox News and C-SPAN. So far, Google Video does not provide playback of programs, instead highlighting where a keyword appears in a transcript and displaying still-frame images of shows.
