You know why can’t you just be Yahoo, let the other sites be the other sites and be yourself. Us old folks don’t like change. If I wanted Myspace I would be over there and if you don’t stop changing I will be.

Where’s the API to retrieve the thumbnail of a given video? The Search API gives you that, but based on a search, not on a given video id.

I want the old video search page back. This new one has way too much useless clutter, and since it’s a SEARCH ENGINE, all I want it to do is search for the things I look for, not dazzle me with all these colors, and buttons, and featured things… and… and whatever else all this is. Is there any way to change it so I can get more than 10 results a page, like I used to? This is annoying, it requires far too many next page clicks to get through a large amount of hits.

While the previous interface was pretty good, allowing to process a large amount of results easyly and in an efficient way, this new eye candy layout is a lot less good in a term of usability. Displaying less usefull informations (the videos peoples are searching for) and a lot more useless informations.

A total failure.

The old beta video search was pretty efficient. Very simple and configurable it allowed to get easyly a lot of results and search thro them in a convenient way: THIS IS WHAT SEARCH ENGINE ARE ABOUT.

On the other hand the new layout is filled with a lot of secondary information and it doesn’t allow to process a lot of information as before making the navigation throu the results much more slower and less efficient than before.

That said this new layout for the video search is a total faillure. The peoples at Google once showed to the world that simple, minimalist interface well designed a better and prefered by user to useless eye candy. After that all search engine ripped the Google style but were too late. For once Yahoo had some advance over Google on one point and simply ruined it with this new terrible layout full of useless eye-candies… bad, very bad.

Love the new video page. I have a quick question about your feed submission process – My site Blastro.com has submitted mrss 2.0 feed multiple times over the last few months but we do not appear in any of the video search results. Instead, sites that have scraped our content are showing up with deep links to our media files. Is there somebody who can help us get indexed properly?
