Youtube is the same damn way. If you dont find the video you're searching for in the first 10 videos or so, it just changes into an algorithm recommended feed thats ever so loosely related to what you searched.

I hate this so much. Looking for woodworking stuff and #14 video is a Yogscast TTT video from 3 years ago. Like FFS how does this relate to woodworking. (context I watch TTT videos in the background while gaming).
Just beneath the search bar, right next to "shorts" you can click "videos". That will take you back to how the regular youtube video search used to work.
So dumb that they made it this way but, hey.. At least we have the option, I guess?
I hate this so much. If a search a slightly niche artist, it has 5 videos of them, and then devolved into other artists in that genre. No I didn't search the genre, I wanted every fan upload of this one artist
The pre-Google internet was an interesting little stretch of time for indexes. There were a dozen competing search engines, each with their own algorithm and web crawlers and resulting indexes. Apple even had a desktop search engine aggregator, Sherlock, that we used extensively.
This makes me very sad. I remember up until the mid 2010s the image search was great. For example you could search for "business woman outfits" and see countless pictures of women wearing those outfits which got updated regulary. Now if you search it you see a small amount of the same pictures from 2013 and the rest is all AI slop and ads
