Abstract
An information retrieval system is provided for processing queries for video content. A server receives a query for video content and returns video articles, as received from broadcast systems or other content providers. Queries are formulated using text, video images, and/or visual content associated with a video article. Content data is associated with video article images and search queries are generated based on user selection of an image. The resulting set of video articles is ranked and a representation of each video article is displayed to the user. The user can play the video article either within the representation or independent of it.
