I think it's time to acknowledge that "when searched" should really (statistically, if not in this case) mean "when searched on google.com which happens to share some stuff with youtube"
The search results on google have been abysmal for very long; they might be harder to study for outsiders (no good indicators like popularity on individual links) but I wouldn't be surprised if they're just as bad an influence as youtube algos.
