Still, with the Microsoft search deal still far from actually launching, the company is continuing its efforts at improving search capabilities, especially when it comes to media search. Today, Yahoo is launching Music Albums and Song Search as a Yahoo Video search feature.that lets music fans find music videos from their favorite artists and even view videos by album.
Type in an artist or band name into the video search box and you'll get a list of music videos or other videos featuring the artist (you can choose to specify only official videos if you want to filter out any fan-videos or cover acts) and for many artists, the option to select a specific album to see videos associated with that record.
When you click on a video, you go to the site and a Yahoo! overlay appears, letting you save the page to delicious or share with a friend.
All in all the feature is pretty cool. That said, having to go to another site to view a video isn't that convenient. It would be nice if Yahoo! instituted something like Bing's auto-play video function.
