A very powerful tool that converts transcribes the dialogue in the video clips into text which can then be searched allowing editors/directors/producers to quickly find clips. What's next for software, indexing meaning? Something not unlike what you have described is included in the new version of Adobe Premiere as part of their CS4 suite.

Also, there are services that search podcasts and vodcasta, do speech-to-text, then allow to search for spoken content in the media. Examples are PodZinger, BlinkX and Pluggd, and I'm sure there are many others. Also, there are experimental search engines that allow you to search for images based on doodles or sketches, so image search doesn't have to be only textual.
