Is there a good search engine for peertube content? I feel that's the big problem now. Browsing random instances, I found a lot of (bad) porn, some anarchist concerts, tech tutorials in languages I did not know. I made a search for "music" in sepiasearch.org, assuming this should be broad enough to get something interesting. The top result has 9 views. I can filter by "popular". Look, I understand that Youtube's recommendation algorithm is problematic, but I need a way to find relevant content. "Sort by views" should at least be an option. It almost makes me want to build a crawler and search engine for these.

  Thanks! You should try to get a reference in framasoft sites, it is really useful! I could not find it while googling for peertube search. You should try to get some references up.

  Many of the videos it returns are unavailable. Are you updating the database?

There's an official search engine here: https://sepiasearch.org https://sepiasearch.org. At least it's what's used when using the search bar on https://joinpeertube.org https://joinpeertube.org.
