Well you can believe it or not but Google actually claims that they can read the text in the images and videos and that would off course be searchable by normally deadly people like us.
The new patent that they are asking for is looking something like this

“Digital images can include a wide variety of content…For example, digital images can illustrate landscapes, people, urban scenes, and other objects. Digital images often include text. Digital images can be captured, for example, using cameras or digital video recorders. Image text (i.e., text in an image) typically includes text of varying size, orientation, and typeface. Text in a digital image derived, for example, from an urban scene (e.g., a city street scene) often provides information about the displayed scene or location. A typical street scene includes, for example, text as part of street signs, building names, address numbers, and window signs.”

So next time you search for something you might end up with the neighbor’s home video.
