YouTube, Closed Captions and Search

[Daylan]

Hey team,

Just wondering if there's anyone out there that may have dabbled with YouTube closed captions and if having them has any effect at all on search results.

My theory (unfounded) is that perhaps these files can be crawled (or viewed) by crawlers and/or given priority in search due to having indexible content which defines the content within the clip - which otherwise wouldn't have been known.

Now, I have no evidence that this may be the case but wondering if anyone out there may have seen or read something about it.

Seems like kind of a cool thing for SE's to do to help promote accessibility across teh web.

Thanks guys.
