The search is absolutely infuriating!

You search for something you 100% know exists to show someone and it just gives up after a couple videos and starts showing recommendations.

Just the other day I was out at my parents house and I wanted to show them this channel my young daughter likes, a young woman who is herself learning to play banjo.

When we're home, to find her videos for my daughter I simply enter the girls name and "banjo" and her channel comes up. At my parents house however this just returned famous banjo players and completely ignored the name I had entered.

I was frustrated, shocked, and baffled as I scrolled through results where YouTube entirely buried this tiny creator behind giant creators, even when searched for explicitly by name. I then entered the exact same query into Google on my parent's computer and she was the top result.

My advice these days would be to just avoid YouTube search entirely and head straight to Google, as that still kind of works.
