Search results are sorted by different rules. Sorting rules are very handy if you just want to kill time or search for something fun on YouTube. These sorting options are:
- Relevance: search results are ordered by relevance to the text you input
- Upload date: videos are ordered by upload date, so that you are able to find the latest videos
- View count: this option helps you to find the most popular videos
- Rating: this option tells which videos are considered to be the best in users' eyes
The latter two options can certainly find out the most popular and interesting videos as those videos can always get highest rated and view counts.
However, problem may come along: when you sort by anything other than relevancy, the results are likely to be highly irrelevant.
Compare the two sorting options below:
It's difficult to find out the content you are searching for without the Relevance option.
Advanced search operators are needed at this time. These advanced operators are inherited from Google search and can also be used in YouTube search. They are really useful to help you filter the search results.
- Use double quotes to find the exact match content
A query with terms in double quotes finds content containing the exact quoted phrase. For example, ["Pulp fiction"] finds videos containing the phrase "Pulp fiction" exactly.
- Force YouTube to include a term by preceding the term with a "+" sign
If you don't want YouTube to miss a specific term in your query, you can use the '+' operator. Note that you should not put a space between the + and the word. In the same way, the '-' operator in front of a phrase can exclude a particular phrase from the search results.
- Use INTITLE: operator
Use INTITLE: operator to force specific phrase to appear in the video title.
on december 7, 2012 youtube got rid of the sort videos by upload date search option that sorts the videos with the most recently posted ones at the top of the list and the farther down the list i go the farther into the past i go(the proper order). the only video search options available on youtube now are ones that sort the videos in a totally random order which makes it very hard to find the most recently posted videos on whatever i'm loking for. i hope youtube brings back the sort by upload date option that sorts the videos in the proper order and not in a random order.
