About YouTube Metadata Search
YouTube Metadata Search is a web tool for searching a stored dataset of YouTube video metadata. It supports text search and ID lookup, with filters for uploader, date range, view count, duration and ordering, plus an "I'm Feeling Lucky" option. Videos and searches can be shared through URLs. The dataset covers 223,141,724 videos taken from 272,885,350 snapshots saved between 2006 and 2012, and all data is shown as of the moment of capture, so it does not reflect later changes. Uploader search needs at least three characters unless the full username is typed out, and the option to include incomplete results is currently unavailable.
