YouTube is rolling out a simplified and reorganised set of search filters designed to make its search experience more intuitive. According to Google, the changes focus on streamlining options, removing filters that were not working as intended, and addressing features that had prompted user complaints.
As part of the update, YouTube has added a new Shorts filter under the Type menu, allowing users to hide Shorts from search results entirely. This makes it easier to surface longer-form videos without short-form clips appearing in the results.
The platform has also renamed the Sort by menu to Prioritize, while the View Count option has been replaced with Popularity. Unlike view count alone, the new Popularity filter considers additional signals such as watch time to rank videos more effectively.
At the same time, YouTube has removed two existing filters: Upload Date – Last Hour and Sort by Rating. Google says these options were removed because they were not functioning as expected. Users can still find recent uploads through other Upload Date filters, and discover widely viewed content using the new Popularity option.
The updated search filters are currently available to a limited number of users, suggesting a phased rollout. It may take some time before the changes appear across all accounts.
