VideoSurf Beta is a new search engine that lets users visually search and identify/recognize people and objects inside videos, without depending on textual tags.

VideoSurf can “see” inside videos to understand and analyze the content, in order to deliver more relevant results. VideoSurf’s patent-pending technology also visually identifies important characters within the results, so that users can discover new videos based on the appearances of characters in which they’re interested. Users can also view the contents at a glance before deciding whether to watch the video, and can easily skip to a specific moment within the video.

Unique features of VideoSurf Beta include:

- Search Your Results by Character
- Visual Summaries of Videos
- Show Only Faces
- Ranks videos by visual relevancy

VideoSurf aggregates content from across all leading sites on the Web
