It's not clear what can be searched on this. The interface suggests "concepts", and I'm not sure how I would define those in a movie trailer.

Being able to search actors or movies would be interesting, but IMdB already serves this purpose. Searching dialogue is what I was hoping for, similar to morbotron.com or frinkiac.com. filmot.com does this for general YouTube videos, but I would love to see that applied to a quality film collection.

I tried entering "Marty Feldman" as a search query. Unfortunately, the responses don't show movie titles, but I couldn't spot him in the few that I tried. "The Sting" was one movie that I could identify.

Needs more work.

At a glance, the semantics seem kind of weak. It's hard to tell in many cases why it picked certain scenes in lieu of the concept searched.
