playing video in result pages

Razvan Antonescu (don’t be confused, we use the same theme) sent an email to me along with this screen shot explaining that Google is taking their PlusBox (a cooler version of OneBox) technology to a totally new level - playing videos in web search result pages.

He said the the “results from Google Video and YouTube sometimes have an attached ‘Show Video‘ link that plays the whole video in the SERPs”.

As you may have known, Google’s been doing this in their lab, SearchMash, for a quite long time, only difference is that it plays the video in the sidebar instead of under the main results.

I cannot reproduce the same result with the query “nightwish videos”, and Razvan later told me that he can’t replicate it again either. Appearently this is another experiment Google is doing.

[thanks Razvan :)]
