Thing is, with the amount of content the bbc put out [1], you aren't 
likely to find most of it linked from any where useful.

Which, if you'll excuse a self interested rant, is one reason they put a 
fair chunk of effort into the search offering ...

This is much the same as the previous link - only if you are doing it 
from within news.bbc you can also search across pretty much all the 
audio/video content that BBC News/Sport has ever put online (excluding 
the broadband stuff like the 1/6/10 O'Clock progs).  See the box on the 
right of the page.   It's far from perfect, or is at least a little 
quirky, as the above link demonstrates quite well.  Still, it is quite a 
neat tool/resource.

-----

[1] ~2 million pages on www.bbc + god knows how much on news.bbc + all 
the audio/visual stuff + the dynamic stuff like (event/tv) listings and 
message boards.

fwiw, Google has just over 1 million bbc pages in it's web index, and 
probably virtually none of the AV stuff.

And the news stuff should appear in the search results almost as soon as 
they are published.
