Its a less than desirable search feature. I even thought about taking it off of my site entirely.
Let's say I know there is a video titled "Hot Baked Potato" and I want to find it, so I type the name of the video in search. You would think the video with the matching name would be the first result, but it is not. It pulls up every video related to "hot", every one related to "baked" and every one related to "potato". Actually, after taking a closer look, it looks like very few of the videos contain anything to do with hot, baked or potato.
Even if I put the name of the video in quotes, the result is the same. It just pulls up a long list of videos that don't appear to be sorted in any logical manner, and the only way to find the one I am looking for is to search through dozens of pages of results. This makes the search function basically useless for searching videos.
** Just to clarify, I do not really have a hot baked potato video. That was just an example. ** :D
