Search for Videos

The following applies to basic and advanced searches:

•Search ignores common words, such as “the” (or the equivalent in the system base language).

•Search ignores special characters, such as punctuation. If you have titles with a special character (non-alphanumeric character), such as an ampersand (&), and you perform a search for that character, you will not receive any search results because the special character is ignored.

•If you search for more than one term, it treats the search as an “and” and does not split the terms across fields that are being searched. For example, if you have a video submitted by a user with the user ID of “user1” and tagged with the tag “tag”, searching for “user1 tag” may not produce the video in the results. This is because the search looks for both user1 and tag in the tags field and user1 and tag in the user ID field. However, you can filter the display on the home page with the desired tag and then search for the user ID.
