Custom Google searches
Cool stuff. (Did you notice the "Note this" next to google searches now) Anyways, over at Google Coop you can build your own custom search engine. I guess the idea is that list playlists, and tags, google wants US to make searches useful again.
Here is the VideoSift Search
<form id="searchbox_002588755744844193201:kz93x1s9imy" action="http://www.google.com/search">
<input type="hidden" name="cx" value="002588755744844193201:kz93x1s9imy" />
<input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:0" />
<input name="q" type="text" size="40" />
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />

</form>
(TIPS: Try "inurl:dogs" to search video titles, also add "posted by username" for videos posted by someone, and add "this video is ranked" if you don't want dead videos)
And the magic google SiftTalk search
<form id="searchbox_002588755744844193201:elzk_zsjx7a" action="http://www.google.com/search">
<input type="hidden" name="cx" value="002588755744844193201:elzk_zsjx7a" />
<input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:0" />
<input name="q" type="text" size="40" />
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />

</form>
Current list of flagged dead and need fixed videos!

Nice work on the custom searches Joe (much easier)...*quality
Gold Star member benjee has awarded joedirt one published post for this quality Sift Talk contribution.
Yessir, way more cool.
Love it!
Ok, like I used to go in original google hacks sifttalk...
Here are Tips:
inurl:"Search Term" -- will search video titles
"posted by username" -- will find your videos
"Fix it within 7 days" -- Video that are flagged
-"Discarding this video" -- Doesn't search dead videos
-"link to this video has been fixed" -- Doesn't search undead fixed videos
-"this video is ranked" -- finds discarded or dead videos
(Note: Google search is missing quite a few videos and is sometimes a week old)
Find your NEED TO BE FIXED videos like this
<BLOCKQUOTE>
"posted by dag" "Fix it within 7 days" -"Discarding this video" -"link to this video has been fixed"</BLOCKQUOTE>
There are 50 videos about to be nuked!!!
Now THAT'S handy, thanks Joe!
