Came here to point videogrep out. It is a great tool!
I don't remember if this is out of the box for videogrep, but it is possible to generate "fine-grained" subtitle information using speech to text and some massaging. In other words, subtitles that match a specific word.
I worked on something similar to this using videogrep and "fine-grained" subtitle information using Seinfeld clips. My short experiment took as input a string and looked for the longest matching subtitle and created a clip out of longest matching subtitles of characters saying the contents of the input string. I couldn't figure out how to get diarization to work reliably back then, if anyone knows, please let me know!

One of the Daily Show's greatest strengths was their ability to quickly compile relevant clips. I always wondered if they had a service like this. I assumed that they were scraping CC text themselves. Maybe they just had a phenomenal research dept.
The Daily Show, and I believe most similar shows, use a product called Snapstream: https://www.snapstream.com/entertainment
Crucially this is not a cloud product, I suspect for copyright reasons.

I often wonder this too about a radio show I listen to with several decades of archives. I wonder what the interface looks like, and how hard it really is to assemble clips. Having a database of thousands of hours of video and audio to search sounds cool!
This is incredibly impressive, especially the ability to immediately download the snippet as an mp4.
How has this not been immediately shut down due to copyright?

Nice implementation, I like how it continuously plays. Similar concept to my company https://getyarn.io, where you can search into movies and tv shows :)
I wonder how many clips they have compared to the 10 million+ in Yarn...

Allows you to search for a specific phrase or word and you get video results from movies (with timestamp), where this phrase/word is being used. Has around 2M phrases and the first 5 results are free, afterwards you need to become a sponsor.
Are you affiliated? Others and I have questions about implementation...
Ooo this is so cool [0]. I need to know the implementation details. How are the clips stored? Are they dynamically generated with ffmpeg or something or is every line of dialogue clipped out ready to serve? How many films and what are the storage costs?

And how did they even get their source material?
This is one of the most impressive projects I've seen on HN in a long time. Nice work!

I wonder how long that would run for if I was a sponsor.

I don't know what to do with this[0], but it's pretty nice, great implementation, well done!

I've always wanted a service like this, for movies, TV, and music.
I might be missing it, but is there a way to share a link to a specific clip, preferably not including the text used to search for it?

I edited right before you posted because I realized I misremembered the line. Thanks though.
I've been holding this idea of searching movie subtitles for a long time, but haven't got the energy to actually code it out. So glad to see someone else made it come true!
Amazing tool !
Is it possible to disable translation? A bit frustrating when searching for anything other than english and still ending up with english.

Not sure if it's because I didn't make an account, but 8 of the 10 clips I got were all from The Dark Knight. I searched 2 phrases.
How are you able to store all the videos?
Where is "Guns. Lots Of Guns"?
I couldn't find anything from The Matrix or Ghostbusters
Is this scraping a subtitle service + retrieving the timestamp from the subtitle and displaying it?
Search bar doesn't work in Android webview. Placeholder is not placeholder, I had to delete it, pressing enter doesn't start search and they're is no button to start search. Also font is huge. You have reimplemented input field and complete broke it in the process.
Neat, it handled "you can't handle the truth" swimmingly!
"with cheese" seems to be exclusively in Pulp Fiction :D
This is really great! So much fun to try out different phrases.
Fails at: "I find your lack of faith disturbing."

the speed at results and seeing clips from some of my fave movies left me super impressed
