More Tips about Google Videos

Google Videos is Google’s video search engine. The platform was established in 2005 and is designed to help internet users to view multimedia contents both from Youtube and other video search sites. Google Videos has evolved drastically over the cause of its existence. It was originally founded to be a video sharing site. Google’s acquisition of YouTube saw it being removing this function and transforming the platform to serve only as a video search engine.

Like with the traditional Google search engine, Google Videos has access to millions of videos. This makes it difficult for users to find exactly the videos they want. However, some strategies can improve users' experience with the video search engine. These tips are discussed below:

Filter Your Search Results

Whenever you type a search phrase into Google Videos, the platform will immediately return results made up of videos related to the entered keyword. The videos are ranked based on relevance, popularity, and other factors as determined by the ever-changing Google's search algorithms. The result page has more search options at the top. Using the options, you can filter the results based on the video’s age and its length. If you select the video length to more than 20 minutes, you will get many fantastic full-length movies.

Have the right Search Phrase

As a search engine, the platform will give yo results for almost any search phrase you type into it. Using less specific keywords will mean lots of videos in your results. If you know the exact title of the video, use it as the search phrase. For other videos, use concise keywords or a combination of them.

Use the Advanced Search Option

This option is especially important if the traditional search does not bring up the video you want. The Advanced Search digs down deep into the internet and provides you with all the videos that the platform has to offer. Remember to narrow your search by filtering using date, quality, domain, phrasing, and subtitles.
