Can't find that video that Google listed in your results? It's not you. It's Google.
Google offers a dedicated Google Video search designed to bring back videos from across the web, in addition to its own YouTube service. However, something seems seriously wrong with Google Video. Some searches promising to lead people to video content fail to actually do so.
In this case, I searched for “Apple” on Google, then selected “More” and then used the “Videos” option. The results are the same as if I went to Google Videos directly. Both the second and third listings promise that there’s some video content on these pages. But neither page has videos on them.
Here’s another example, this time with “Google” as the search term:
As with the Apple examples, neither of the two strings highlighted have videos on their pages.
The first example from Google, for Google Inbox, does have a “Watch the video” link on the page. When clicked, that will cause an actual video to load on the page. But for the rest, getting to videos from the pages is difficult to impossible.
