Personally, I think the best way to handle such searches would be for an industry standard way to describe media files with text. That would save the massive amounts of bandwidth consumed by multimedia spiders.

This was tried with meta description and keyword tags. We all know what happened there. To accurately display results in this fashion, you'd need a bunch of support personnel to uphold the standard. Then these people would have to download the files anyway to determine relevance, thus eating up bandwidth.

Perhaps some sort of multimedia standard for limited spidering....
