I need to mention how terrible YouTube search has gotten.
Instead of giving you actual search results, it only gives a 2-3 relevant videos and then some random recommendations that are often completely unrelated to the query
- harry8 3y agoGoogle itself no longer does search and does recommendation in its place. I hate it so much. They must have such an incredible moat if they aren't getting smashed by the competition by just doing actual search, with all the words in the query string, ensuring every single one of them is actually in each result.
- timbit42 3y agoYes, I often now use another search engine, such as DDG, to search YouTube.
- skybrian 3y agoThe trick is to go into search settings and select “videos.” All the other sections go away. You have to do it each time, though. I’ve heard there’s a browser addon to do it automatically, but I didn’t install it.
