I keep on thinking about how infrequently I use search to surface the media that I want. I mean, if I was doing serious research yeah I'd search and drill way past 2.5 pages of results, I'd look at facets, I'd go bananas getting to the stuff I need to get to. But increasingly I deal with interfaces that treat search as a secondary feature, with predictive or popular results being visually pushed to the 'home page'. Think about your Apple TV, for example.
