Google Begins Highlighting Key Moments From Videos in Search: Google announced an update on how it handles videos in search results. Instead of just listing relevant videos on the search results page, Google will now highlight the most relevant parts of longer videos, based on timestamps provided by the video creators. TechCrunch notes that this is especially useful for how-to videos or documentaries.
