Here is what "Search in video" looks like. You can expand the video from the SERPs and then enter additional text. Google will show you the time and text where that shows up. You can tap that and jump to the part of the video. Very cool, and super helpful. pic.twitter.com/ZuMvCzUkdp

Here is an example of the "Search in video" feature in the SERPs. You will see an "expand" icon in the SERPs & then you can tap "Search in video". Here I searched for "404" in one of @johnmu's older videos. It highlights the text & the time code. And I can jump right there. pic.twitter.com/gqJSK87wV7
