Is there more to know about YouTube search?

I know that anyone can select YouTube's Filter & Explore,
and filter results by: Type of results, such as Videos, Channels, or Playlists, Upload date, Subject category, Video length, Video quality. Features, such as Closed captions, Partner videos, or Rentals. You can also sort your results by:
RelevanceRating, Upload date and View count.
And anyone can search YouTube via Google, in Advanced Search by "search within a specific website".

Is there more to know about YouTube search? Are there other ways of searching specifically there?

    In a way there is. You can also see the most popular videos using YouTube Trends (YouTube Trends) which also contains the YouTube Trends Dashboard (YouTube Trends Dashboard - YouTube). Get the most up to date information on YouTube the site by using the YouTube Blog (YouTube Blog). And you can compare a ton of different options in YouTube Charts (YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.) to see what is the most popular by age, gender, location, etc. You can also search YouTube Comments for certain keywords using the Comment Search option (http://www.youtube.com/comments_search). Don't forget to look at 'Significant Discovery Events' if you do find a video that might be considered 'competition'. SDE will tell you what sites that video is posted on and how many views it got from that site. There's a couple others but those are the biggies. More info in my signature.

    Think about how important that search feature is too. People type in keywords looking for videos. Utilize that by tagging your video with appropriate keywords. You can also look at YouTube trends & spot hot trending videos. Jump on a trend early enough with your own video with a catchy title (title is very important - don't be bland or generic) & you can get some serious mileage w/YouTube.

      Thanks for your replies.
      Do you know how to search beyond 50 pages on YouTube?
      I've searched a few times and the searches seem to always end at 50 pages.
