Yahoo! released its new Video Search feature for testing Wednesday, which the company hopes to add to its site in early 2005. Yahoo!'s video search tool follows AOL's late-November release of SingingFish, which performs a similar function.

Although Yahoo! was not making public comments on the release, an entry appeared on the company's official blog Wednesday. Jeremy Zawodny of Yahoo! Search says there is a lot of video on the Internet that regular search engines are missing. "That's exactly why we're talking to a lot of our existing media partners, many of whom have sizeable video assets which have yet to be indexed," Zawodny said.
