    This is great! its the only way to get good search results out of youtube now (especially for old videos)
    i do have some nitpicks though, it seems to slow down gradually going through chunks (yes i have chunks on 1 day and unsaftey on)
    this means i downloaded in batches around a year each time, but i noticed that when scrolling through results while its running, it seems to mess up the ordering, and when looking at the exported json, the timestamp numbers do go in correct order, but then sometimes are incorrect
    and lastly i cant seem to get it to show or retrive shorts.
    but other than those main points there isnt much to complain about after youtube screwed us over so hard and i appreciate this very much

    Finds nothing relevant and instead pulls in a bunch of unrelated garbage. The whole thing feels overengineered for what should be a simple function. Doesn’t deliver on its core promise and just clutters the interface.

    1 star feels a bit harsh.

    There was never a claim made that it fixes the results Youtube provides, the tool is to help filter and sort out the garbage. It still has to utilize the results YouTube gives you with your search.

    To get better results out of the gate make sure you are using good search terms, like using quotations. But again, regardless of the search term; YouTube will still provide junk because that's what YouTube spits out. Harvesort is just collects all the results in a local database and is allowing you to filter based on the metadata avaliable. Its not actually checking the content for relevance of the results because that's not as easily done; mostly because YouTube does not readily provide this metadata.

    It's still better then searching YouTube with their filters that actively inject shorts when you are searching videos, don't really sort in any given order that makes sense, or provides you a list of the same things over and over. Harvesort can find ALL the results of a search if you turn on 'unsafty' mode. You can find results of any given time period in YouTube's history. Good luck getting YouTube's base results to do that unless you know exactly what you are looking for.

    I plan to at some point add a way to make sure what you are searching is actually related to the title of the video in some way. But that will introduce issues of its own still.

    The tool may not be for you, but but it works for what it is, and 1 star is a choice related to your expectations. It sounds like your complaints are with what YouTube does natively already with your search results, not with filtering them.

    Also, you don't specify what the 'simple function' you want is. Is it a replacement to 'sort by date'? If so then yeah, its overengineered for that. It kind of had to be because they outright removed the filter to do it. I will never claim this is a clean solution to that problem. But it does work to provide a solution.

    As of Feb 15th, this seems to work... despite other reviews?

    Solve my main issue of sort-by-date getting removed on youtube. Has options that does a lot more to. Could be better with results filtering unrelated results but that is just youtube for you. At least I can find new fresh content again.

    Seems to be working okay for me, but what I don't like is having the tab visible all the time. Would be great to at least have an additional "search only" visibility option, or even better, no tab at all but a clickable pinned Toolbar icon instead.

    Hi. Thanks for the review.

    There is a way to adjust where it shows up in the options, under 'Visibility'. Right now the minimum one is on "Home and Search" pages which should be the default.

    But it's a fair point. I could later add a few other ways of enabling/disabling it easier. Thanks for the feedback.

    Подозрительное, криво работающее нечто.

    Update: After looking into it this might be due to changes on youtube's end and not hte extention

    The add-on has been replaced by a more developed tool Harvésort.

    This new tool should be far more powerful for searches. Please update and give it a go. It should be able to do what you were using the old add-on for, and a lot more... for as long as it is allowed to work.

    YouTube completely removed the ability to filter through URL, rendering this useless. Was a good run.

    The add-on has been replaced by a more developed tool Harvésort. It is no longer using or reliant on the old url codes.
