It looks like video in search ads are here to stay.

I saw an interesting post on searchengineland.  It looks like Yahoo, like Google, is starting to display video ads in their search results, in particular, for "partner results" which is part of their Yahoo sponsored search program.

If you search for "shop honda" on Yahoo, you will see the following "partner results" search ad:
