Advanced settings

To start searching for YouTube videos, only Basic settings are enough. Advanced settings are optional. However, in advanced settings, you can use several filters to get more targeted search results.

Filter by keywords - show only videos that mention in the title or description at least one of the specified keywords. This filter is used only with the search by YouTube channels.

Filter by negative keywords - remove from search result videos that mention in the title or description specified keywords.

Language preference - this parameter instructs to return search results that are most relevant to the specified language. Results in other languages can still be returned if they are highly relevant to the search.

Sort videos by - sort search results in your YouTube feed:
- Date - sort videos chronologically starting from the most recent.
- Relevance - show the most relevant videos first.
- Rating - sort videos according to their rating starting from the highest.
- Title - sort videos alphabetically by title (most likely first will show videos with titles starting with numbers and then alphabetically).
- View count - sort videos from highest to lowest number of views.
- Video count - used to sort feeds of YouTube channels.

Use the Preview option before generating to make sure your feed displays videos relevant to your search.
