Google Universal Search presents a mixed content in search results – you get a couple of YouTube clips, some news headlines and sometimes book snippets on the same page .
The idea is that Google users need not have to visit other search properties (like News Search, Videos, etc) to find related information on the same topic.
Now try looking for Matt Foley on Google and what you get is a search page with 70% video content. Very interesting. H/t Aaron Wall.

Does anyone know why some YouTube videos show up in search engines w/ a thumbnail and some don’t and… how do you do it so that your vid’s show up w/ the thumbnail?
This has puzzled me for some time, and am really hoping someone might be able to share some insight in regards to this.
