Google has added a new feature to its Search Engine that allows you to search online for specific episodes in Video results.

The Episode search comes under the Video tab after you have searched for a specific title. It lists both Seasons and Episodes.

But the feature has not been added to google.com.au so you will need to search via the US google.com for results. The easiest way to access this is to click the “Go to Google.com” link on the bottom right hand corner of the au homepage.

Once there you can search for your show.

For example, if you search for The Office and then click Videos you will find “Episodes” listed in the left hand side menu. It brings up 6 seasons of The Office which subsequently links to results for every individual episode.

The results will vary from show to show but they include Amazon, go.com, cbs.com. tv.com and more. It is not a torrent search engine.

The downside of course is that most videos are geo-blocked meaning they won’t yet play outside of the US.

Would be great if the search function also included text results for each episode leading us to synopsis, cast, programming, blogs, photos, etc.

  1. There are various workarounds to view geo-blocked videos, however the sites often stop some workarounds from working.

    Does the listings include Hulu links? I was able to watch “If I can dream” on that site without hiding my IP address.

  5. Yes the on going geo limitations is frustrating but probably understandable given various licencing arrangements.

    TV.com(.au) is a reasonable source of episode information

  6. Interesting devlopment… although its a moot point considering we can’t access most of those sites.

    I suppose the Aussie domain will add the Australian network equivalents at some stage.
