You Tube Advanced Video Search Tricks in Plain English.

We are aware that "You Tube" is the arch video search engine. But many a times we wont get the exact video we want to view. The results shown will be many videos.(Even irrelevant videos will be included.)

Searching appropriate videos on YouTube is simple but if you know a few tricks, it becomes even more fun and accurate. The YouTube team has considerably simplified their video search function making it easier for people to perform advanced searches on YouTube without learning any complicated syntax. These are known as "Search Operators", simply "Keywords" For the Query.

Few of the most likely real time examples have been been mentioned below:

#1. Find a specific YouTube "channel"

YouTube will have numerous videos related to Pepsi but if you are only looking for their official YouTube channel, add the word "channel" to your query separated by a comma.

Example: Pepsi, channel

#2. Limit your search to recently uploaded videos

Example: Cricket, this week

This will only show recent videos related to Cricket that have been uploaded to YouTube in the past week. You may also use �today� or �this month� to limit your search to videos that were uploaded in the past month.

#3. Find only official videos, no fan material please

Example: Micheal Jackson, partner

If you are looking for the �official� Micheal Jackson track and don�t want to see any parodies or fan material in the search results, add the word "partner" to your search query.

#4. Find movies on YouTube

Example: Jackie Chan, movie

Yes, you can find full-length movies on YouTube.

#5. Find high-quality videos on YouTube

Example: Space, hd

Add the keyword "HD" to your search query and YouTube will only show High-definition video clips that are either 720p (1280x720) or 1080p (1920x1080 pixels).

#6. Find 3D video clips on YouTube

Example: Avatar, 3d

Got a pair of 3D glasses? Add the keyword 3D to your search query and discover 3D videos. You may also enjoy some 3D content on YouTube without the glasses � see details.

#7. Find video playlists on YouTube

Playlists are a great option if you want to find and watch (or listen) multiple related videos in one go.

#8. Find lengthy videos on YouTube
