Don't think about indexing so much, think about searching. Say you are searching a video? What does that mean? Do you want to match random sequence of binary values that represent inter-frame change? Probably not. When you answer what you want to actually search (title? length? subscripts?), you will discover that structure. What do you want to return? A whole video, a segment, a description with a link?
So, you pre-process/index your data to give you the things you want to search for and in the form you want them to receive.
