Top5 Video Search Engines

The term Video is a Latin word which means “I See”. According to Wikipedia

“Video is the technology of electronically capturing, recording, processing, storing, transmitting, and reconstructing a sequence of still images representing scenes in motion.”

So, is it all about video? No! The rise of user generated video sharing websites on Internet has altered the meaning of Video. The advancements in Computer Hardware and Software has made possible the capturing, editing, and  transmitting video content more convenient than old analog technologies. Further, the Internet played its role in making “Video” ubiquitous. This tendency hasn’t finished and growing rapidly. According to Nielsen’s Report published in current month, total online video streams (U.S.) rise 41% from previous year. The streams watched by per viewer and time spent per stream has also increased 19.60% and 38.60% respectively.

There is a great number of websites offering video sharing services. You can find the list here. If you are looking for a specific video, your search to find this can turn into a nightmare. A trendy video can be found easily but there is a possibility that its quality is not high or you might face difficulty incase of unpopular video. There are two solutions to this problem either you try to find it on common search engines (Their indexing algorithm is not fit for video search) or surf on every video sharing website and manually input the query (A long and unproductive process). The best solution is to use specific search engines designed solely for video search and crawl only video sharing websites with optimal algorithm.

What is specific in their technique? They generally use Agnostic Search i.e. Search that is not affected by the hosting of video, besides other specific techniques. The following list contains Top 5+ video search engines based on Google Page Rank and Alexa Rank criteria.
