Google Search on Android Set-Top Boxes?

How does searching on your TV using Google sounds like to you? Isn’t it enough that Google has conquered the web and the mobile devices and now it wants to try its luck on TV sets as well? According to a WSJ report, Google has been testing out a new  TV search service in cooperation with the second satellite provider in the U.S. – Dish Network.

The TV search service will apparently let you search TV shows and web video including  YouTube.  Now, here’s the most interesting part, the TV search service will run on set-top boxes powered by Google Android OS. The service is currently being tested by Google employees and their families since late last year.

Of course, providing a search engine for TV is just the tip of the iceberg. Google may be planning something bigger once this venture is proven successful.  Google has an existing TV ads business which is not really doing well. So, the TV search could be a good springboard to spike up interest to it.
