YouTube Now Lets You Filter Search Results to only See Shorts
YouTube renames filters and removes two options due to user complaints, introducing a new Shorts filter and adjusting duration brackets for clearer search results.
- This Month, YouTube rolled out updates to its search filters, adding a Shorts content-type filter in the first column accessible via Filters on web or the three-dot menu on mobile.
- Citing user feedback, YouTube renamed the View Count option to Popularity and removed Upload Date- Last Hour and Sort by Rating because they were not working as expected and caused complaints.
- Duration changes reduced the short-form threshold to 'Under 3 minutes', and the 'Sort By' menu has been renamed 'Prioritize' in advanced search tools, while Features like Live and 4K remain unchanged.

- These tweaks position YouTube to refine search by making filters more intuitive and preserving Upload Date filters like Today, This week, This Month, and This Year.
