Google Video becomes a real video search engine

As for the result itself, you're taken to the site hosting the video -- except you still have the Google interface at the top of your screen. This is similar to the way Google handles image search. For the user, this is either a convenience (find more videos using your favorite search engine) or a huge problem (lose screen real estate while trying to watch videos). But at least Google finally found something to do with its video service.
