Searching in YouTube Tips• Limit to words in the title. Putting "allintitle:" in front of your search to limit those videos with the matching words in the title (not in descriptions or tags) Example: “allintitle:Social media”
• Exclude a term. Add a "" then the word you want to exclude will keep it out of the results. Example: "Google youtube docs"
• Play the wildcard. If you're too lazy to type a word, you can just put in an asterisk in place of that word. Example: “Khon * University” will include “Khon Kaen University”
