1. A method, comprising: receiving a media data associated with an online video on a display page, wherein the online video is to be indexed for media content search; matching the online video to a unique offline television show episode by querying an episode database, wherein the querying is based at least in part on the media data; automatically seeking a first television rating associated with the unique offline television show episode, wherein the first television rating is a function of an estimate of the number of viewing households for the unique offline television show episode; determining a first offline relevancy score based at least in part on the first television rating; automatically seeking a second television rating associated with the unique offline television show episode, wherein the second television rating is a function of airplay data for the unique offline television show episode; determining a second offline relevancy score based at least in part on the second television rating; calculating an offline relevancy score based at least in part on adding the first offline relevancy score to a relative weighting of the second offline relevancy score, wherein the relative weighting reflects a difference between a first rating system associated with the estimate of the number of viewing households and a second rating system associated with the airplay data; and using the offline relevancy score to determine at least in part a search result ranking for the online video and the display page.
