[00:02] YouTube has announced a new update to its search filters. The update may seem simple, but its impact on how content appears and videos are discovered is significant. Stay with me until the end videos are discovered is significant. Stay with me until the end because these changes affect both content creators
[00:17] and viewers. Let's see if the impact is positive or negative. We all know that YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world after Google. People primarily
[00:29] go to YouTube to search for topics and things they want. topics and things they want. During their search, they can use something called filters. These search filters allow you to specify the content you want precisely. YouTube will
[00:43] be updating these filters a bit. So what are these updates? Let's look at this article, which is exactly five days old. This update is five days old and hasn't been implemented yet. You'll find it in the
[00:55] coming period, God willing. YouTube says, "We listened to your feedback on improving the search experience through the filter update." So, YouTube is listening to us and
[01:07] taking our suggestions into account. Let's skip this part. The important thing is that it says...  So, there are new filters and renaming, meaning some things will be new and some things will have their names changed. First, the
[01:21] content types will have something called " short clips" added to the type list. So, for example, when you search for a type, you can choose a video, channel, playlist, or movie. Here,
[01:34] something called "short videos" will appear. I think this is very good for people who make think this is very good for people who make short videos. YouTube will start allocating a special filter for short videos so that if the viewer wants
[01:49] short videos, then short videos will appear in the search results. As if they don't have enough views! Long videos are the ones that are being wronged after the YouTube update and the new YouTube algorithms. after the YouTube update and the new YouTube algorithms. But anyway,
[02:04] But anyway, this gives viewers more control over whether they will see short clips or long videos in the search results. I think this is good so that you can find exactly what you are looking for, regardless of the format. So, this is the first
[02:22] for, regardless of the format. So, this is the first thing: they will add short videos to the video types in the filters.  As for update number 2, I see it as an important and useful update for the content creator who makes high-quality content. Plus, it will be useful for the viewer as it will give him
[02:38] Plus, it will be useful for the viewer as it will give him more accurate results. So what will change? The word " more accurate results. So what will change? The word " sort by" will change completely and will be called "priority setting." So what will it include? Priority setting will cancel the word "number of views" and
[02:54] Priority setting will cancel the word "number of views" and make it "popularity" or "trend." So, if you do a search and choose the number of views, it will bring you and choose the number of views, it will bring you the most viewed videos.  Okay, the new thing is that when you click
[03:07] on popularity, there will be other factors besides the number of views. Let's learn about them here. It tells you that the popularity filter will allow you to easily find popular videos related to the
[03:20] easily find popular videos related to the search terms. It will be more accurate and more relevant to the search terms. It will be more accurate and more relevant to the search terms that the viewer uses. That's number one. Number one: Where are the systems that evaluate the number of views of
[03:36] the video and other relevance indicators? That's the new thing. What are the other relevance indicators?  Like the new thing. What are the other relevance indicators?  Like the view duration used to determine popularity based on specific search terms, this will be a bit complex, but it will be useful for people who
[03:53] create high-value content that keeps viewers engaged for as long as keeps viewers engaged for as long as possible. This will be closely related to the search term the viewer enters, because some people create misleading videos, change
[04:09] people create misleading videos, change titles, or exaggerate them. All of this will be titles, or exaggerate them. All of this will be improved, and the popularity metric will replace the number of views. Other things will be completely removed, such as the upload date (
[04:24] completely removed, such as the upload date ( last hour) and ranking by rating. If we go back to the filter, the upload date option (last hour) will be removed. So, when you search for videos uploaded in the last hour, this will be removed,
[04:40] uploaded in the last hour, this will be removed, but you can still see the day, week, month, and year. Another thing that will be removed is the rating. No one searches by rating anymore, so they found it unnecessary and removed it. Another thing is the
[04:54] Another thing is the upload date; all of this will be removed. This might upload date; all of this will be removed. This might upset many people, but YouTube will remove it, and of course, it will be replaced by filters for the day, week, month, and year. They
[05:06] said that the upload date will be replaced by something else: popularity. This will compensate for the discovery of popular and highly viewed videos using the
[05:18] new popularity filter option that we mentioned will change or be added in place of the number of views. So, I think YouTube is trying to improve the damage caused by short videos
[05:32] damage caused by short videos in the search system. Actually, I'm one of those people who in the search system. Actually, I'm one of those people who were greatly negatively affected by were greatly negatively affected by short videos and the new algorithm, and by the appearance of
[05:44] short videos as a priority in the top search results. I had videos with top search results. I had videos with millions of views that were at the top of the millions of views that were at the top of the search results for a long time, and now they've disappeared from the search results and been replaced by
[05:57] short videos. We also hope that YouTube will try to address this issue more clearly and give address this issue more clearly and give more priority to people searching for longer videos. The priority is because most people who search for
[06:13] information want the information in a comprehensive and detailed way, while people who scroll and detailed way, while people who scroll and take short turns usually do not use the search results. So please, YouTube, if anyone is listening to us or conveying our message or anything, pay
[06:30] attention to the people who make long videos, who are the origin of the YouTube platform. And forget about this TikTok stuff. I want you to write your opinion in the comments. What do you think of opinion in the comments. What do you think of these new search filters or the changes that have happened?
[06:45] And can they really have a positive impact, or do viewers not use these filters in a way viewers not use these filters in a way that makes us feel that there is a positive or negative impact? And if you want to know about the new updates that took place in 2026, I advise you
[07:01] new updates that took place in 2026, I advise you to watch this video in all the updates.
