Including Google Video. Google did try the tactic of using their search engine to promote their own video platform, but it was against YouTube and Google only bought them because it didn’t work.

it didnt work because people don't search for videos via google usually. They get the video directly from youtube, or was linked by friends virally.
Plus the early days of google (before youtube acquisition), i dont think their video search was as good as the text search anyway (but i might be misremembering of course...).

Their video search still sucks.

I'd go a lot further than "sucks".
The video results for most of my queries are like 90% SEO garbage without a video even being present on the linked page.
It's abject failure.
