Search FAQ

I use Youtube. What is the point of myMovo?

The myMovo search is different from Youtube. The myMovo search engine is constantly monitoring the videos available from major TV networks on their web sites. New videos are added as they are found to the myMovo library - which is now over 100000 top quality and current videos. The search only returns videos from major TV networks and web sites - no user posted or viral videos. The exception is we do have the top rated videos from YouTube, since they are top rated and should be good quality.

What are the times - today, last 2 days, ...?

The nature of the myMovo search engine allows us to record the time that a new video as added to the web. When you search you can limit the results to only recently added videos - keeping your search results free of old videos.

And Quick Links are ... what exactly?

Quick Links list the major sites myMovo currently monitors. Select a link to quickly see videos from that site. Most sites contain thousands of videos, by choosing the time, you can see only the videos added recently for that site. As an example, selecting "CNN" and choosing "today" will show all videos from CNN added today.

Where do the videos come from?

The myMovo search engine finds videos, and adds the name of the video and how to play it to the library. All videos you watch come directly from the web site where the video was found - videos pass directly from the provider to you.

What is the vision for myMovo?

Our goal is to have an accurate list of all videos available from major networks for viewing around the world – supporting all countries and languages. We’re also using our search engine to look for other types of interesting information across the web. Google is great at searching words, but we see the evolution of search to be a smarter search for "information". myMovo is a glimpse into what the future will hold for internet searching.
