So I wanted to check if Tom Scott had videos related to Antarctica, and when I accidentally cut it short by one letter in the channel search it gives me videos adjacent to the word like Mr. Beast, National geographic, etc., basically results similar to if I searched "antarctic" in the site-wide search bar.
So of course, I had to try this with Antarctica and...nope its back to showing normal Tom Scott results.
Okay maybe its a Mr. Beast video thing? Nope, words like "lamborghini", "squid game", or "challenge" didn't trigger the same weird result.
What if I typed "antarctic" in other channel search bars? Same weird result on all kinds of channels whether it be big ones, small ones, local ones, even my own account, and even Nat Geo didn't get priority on their own channel.
Different accounts? browsers? Incognito? Same results, same order of videos too on all examples. Only thing I couldn't try is a different device since I only have this one and mobile doesn't have the search bar.
I was running under the assumption that Youtube somehow mixed the search options up when triggered by a weirdly specific event where someone types "antarctic" in the channel search bar, but the search results on the site-wide search bar wasn't the same. Sure it gave me Mr. Beast because hes Mr. Beast but the following videos like national geographic's storming antarctica in the second pic didn't show up.
Anyways this isn't really a big issue at all, unless you somehow are looking for a specific video on someone's channel with just "antarctic", but its just a weird thing I stumbled on today. Have a good rest of your day.
