What is SurfTheChannel?:
SurfTheChannel, one of the largest video search engines on the Web, provides links to literally thousands of free television shows and movies from all over the Web. It's a great way to find your favorite TV shows, movies, videos, and documentaries, all in one convenient location.
How does SurfTheChannel work?:
SurfTheChannel offers you the standard search engine format: simply type in what you're looking for into the search box, and you'll get a list of search results back. There are multiple ways you can actually search for content here: by a simple search, by checking out the most popular TV links featured front and center on the home page, or by seeing what's listed on the Channels. You can also see what's new by subscribing to the Channels'
RSS feeds in your
feed reader; this gives you a first look at what's been added to the site.
How can I filter my SurfTheChannel results?:
I really like how SurfTheChannel filters their search results. For example, a simple search for "Singin' in the Rain" not only got me the expected classic movie, but also results from Arts, Animation, and Sports. As you can see from this simple example, SurfTheChannel does a lot of the filtering for you. There are a few more ways you can expand or narrow your SurfTheChannel results:
- By channel
- By video provider
- By checking out the Most Popular Links box on the front page
Any of these routes will get you to some pretty interesting content; in addition, SurfTheChannel does have a fairly accurate site search.
