Much of the time, you can use YouTube's built-in filters to help narrow your search results. To access them, first run a search on YouTube. Next, click the Filter button and you'll see several filter options.
You can choose just one of them or combine several for deeper searches. Note that some combinations won't work, however. For example, if you filter by upload date, you can't also filter by channels. This option makes it easy to find the latest content on YouTube. The date options are:. If you're looking for breaking news, content relevant to a recent software release, or other timely videos, these are a great help.
Use them when the default results show outdated content. Want to search YouTube for something other than videos?

If you weren't aware, full-length movies and shows are available to purchase on YouTube, which is what the last two choices are for. Looking for a quick video, or a longform piece on content to enjoy over dinner? Use Short to find videos that are under four minutes. Long will filter to only show videos that are longer than 20 minutes. This large section lets you filter by many different types of content on YouTube.
There are too many to cover here, but some of the highlights include:. By default, YouTube searches are sorted by Relevance , which means that YouTube tries to match your search intent. You can change this to Upload date , View count , or Rating if you'd prefer. Most of these are self-explanatory. Upload date lets you find brand-new content, while View count makes it easy to find the most-viewed content on YouTube.
Rating , however, doesn't seem helpful. In our testing, it doesn't show the highest-rated videos first and instead displays a random mix of videos old and new. If you don't want to click on these filter options every time, YouTube offers a faster way to include them in your search. Simply include a comma after your search term and one of the above keywords to filter by it.
