How do I search several channels, exclude channels and reuse the channel list?
Searching Updated
Use the channel lookup box on the home page, subtitle search, metadata search or unlisted video search.
- Type a channel name, @handle or UC channel ID and click the matching suggestion to create a green channel tag. Repeat to add more channels.
- To add several at once, paste a comma-delimited list such as
@LinusTechTips,@JerryRigEverything,@Dave2D,@GamersNexus. You can mix handles and channel IDs and select up to 200 channels per search. - If you enter text without selecting a suggestion, Filmot automatically looks it up and uses up to the top six matching channels. Select the suggestion when you need exactly one channel.
- Where an Include/Exclude switch is available, Include restricts the search to the selected channels; Exclude removes those channels from the results.
To reuse a channel list, bookmark the subtitle or metadata search URL. The selected channels are retained in the address, so you can reopen it and change the query or other filters. Signed-in users can also click the bell button to save a named search with its query, channels, filters and description.
The lookup on the home page and subtitle search only includes channels with subtitles available for search. Metadata and unlisted search include all known channels, even when no captions or transcripts have been indexed.
