We’re making it easier for viewers to find the YouTube content they’re most interested in with an update to the way searching on YouTube works!
👀 Your viewers can now search from comments posted on your long-form videos and Shorts. Here's how:
🔍Popular search terms found in the comments posted on these types of videos will appear as clickable search shortcuts (look for blue + bold clickable phrases with a magnifying glass icon)
🔍 Once they click on the search shortcut, they’ll be taken to content related to the term clicked on. Your video being watched will continue playing in the mini-player until they’re ready to move on. When tapping a search shortcut from a Short, they’ll be taken to a Shorts-filtered search instead, but can always return back to the original Short
This update is rolling out on Android and iOS, and we hope it makes it easier for you and your audiences to explore topics you want to learn more about. Happy searching!!
