Google: use video search - how to set it

Google is a search engine for all forms of media. This includes videos, and with increasing importance. That's why our guide explains how you can use the video search.

The video search can be refined exactly like all other Google searches.

Thanks to increasing bandwidth and potent mobile devices, videos have become a fundamental part of the Internet. Google video search will get you there fast.

Search for videos on Google: These options are available

Two paths lead to the same destination:

• To access the video search directly, enter the URL google.com/videohp. You will get the usual search input, but exclusively with videos as a result.
• Inversely, you can start a normal Google search and then click on "Videos" under the search box. This will switch the mechanism to video search.

Under "Tools" you can further narrow the search by filters, such as duration, quality or source. The results are sorted by (supposed) relevance. This means that you won't only find videos from Google's own video platform YouTube, even though it is of course strongly represented.
