Right now, a filter-less search shows a mix of longform and short form videos, which can be annoying if you just want to see videos in one format or the other. But in the new search filters, among other options, you can pick to see \u201cVideos,\u201d which in my testing has only showed a list of longform videos, or \u201cShorts,\u201d which just shows Shorts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">YouTube is also removing the \u201cUpload Date &#8211; Last Hour\u201d and \u201cSort by Rating\u201d filters because they \u201cwere not working as expected and had contributed to user complaints.\u201d The company will still offer other \u201cUpload Date\u201d filters, like \u201cToday,\u201d \u201cThis week,\u201d \u201cThis Month,\u201d and \u201cThis Year,\u201d and you can also find popular videos with the new \u201cPopularity\u201d filter, which is replacing the \u201cView count\u201d sort option. (With the new \u201cPopularity\u201d filter, YouTube says that \u201cour systems assess a video\u2019s view count and other relevance signals, such as watch time, to determine its popularity for that specific query.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">YouTube has also renamed the \u201cSort By\u201d menu in search filters to \u201cPrioritize,\u201d saying that \u201cthis refined sorting menu aims to maximize utility.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As part of a few changes to its search filters, YouTube is going to allow you to search&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":502386,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[50,6584,242,158,67,132,68,3894],"class_list":{"0":"post-502385","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-news","9":"tag-streaming","10":"tag-tech","11":"tag-technology","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us","15":"tag-youtube"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115861999053369040","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=502385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/502386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=502385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=502385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=502385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
