The answer is yes. Many of them are in the search index at http://beta.lds.org, and they will all be included in the release in October. Regarding the question above “will the Church’s own news releases/articles that are already posted to LDS.org regularly be made searchable?”

Future plans call for more audio and video of open house sessions and other talks.

Specifically, I appreciate the ability to search by scriptures, gospel library, and talks, but I've wondered why we can't just search the website itself instead of using the site map. For example, I searched "class presidency video" trying to find the video located http://www.lds.org/pa/display/0,17884,6620-1,00.html and had no link to this location. Maybe this is something that will improve in the future version of LDS.org? My other thought is it would be really great if we could somehow get podcasts of the General YW/RS/Primary/YM Open House sessions because there is a difference between attending or hearing the session in person and just reading the material. I can't attend this year's YW Open House and feel like I'm really going to miss out even though I know the transcripts will be available for download. Thanks for providing this forum!
