The AOL Video development team is showing off a new, extensive meta search tool for videos on the web. Check it out at Searchvideo.com.

Here are some details from Steve Rubel's Micro Persuasion:

The SearchVideo tool aggregates results from the likes of YouTube, MSN Video, Google Video and much more. In addition, they have created a suite of tools for developers to use, according to PVR Wire. The site is powered by Truveo.

Searchvideo.com is built with the AOL Video Search Ajax API. There are other implementations of the API on display at the AOL Video Search Application Gallery.

The search tool isn't perfect -- after all, it's just a developer demo -- but it has some nice features. You can restrict searches to specific file formats, lengths and picture quality. You can also set up RSS feeds for meta searches and track videos as they're released with "watchlists."

ScoopVid is a similar tool that works just as well but has fewer features.
