Dabble special is the way it goes about searching for videos. It searches the data around the video as well as gives relevance to videos with human preference activity inside Dabble and outside in other communities and blogs. Dabble also has a social community for grouping videos and for user-made media. While it is not necessary to join Dabble to find videos, registered members are able to collect videos, tag them, and organize favorites.

Competitors in video search include giants Google, Yahoo and AOL (myVidster),(Truveo), as well as Pixsy, Blinkx, ClipBlast, EveryZing, and CastTV
