Here are the new filters:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Content Type<\/strong>: The video type filter option now includes Shorts. For users who want to view only Shorts videos, not long videos, channels, playlists, or movies in search results. Helpful to users because some <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/youtube\/what-type-of-videos-get-most-views-on-youtube\/\">video types<\/a> attract quality views.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prioritize Tab:<\/strong> YouTube renamed the &#8220;Sort by&#8221; menu to &#8220;Prioritize&#8221;. The name is useful for both users and the algorithm, enabling it to recommend videos that users prioritize.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Popularity filter:<\/strong> Previously, the Prioritize filter had a &#8220;View Count&#8221; option, which got renamed to &#8220;Popularity.&#8221; The filter makes it easy to search for popular videos by watch time, views, and other relevant metrics.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an older version of the search filter.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38549\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/old-youtube-search-filters.png\" alt=\"Old YouTube search filters\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/old-youtube-search-filters.png 1920w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/old-youtube-search-filters-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/old-youtube-search-filters-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/old-youtube-search-filters-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/old-youtube-search-filters-1536x864.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Removed YouTube Search Filters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some options are not useful or do not improve search results.
