Great job!

How do you do search result ranking? Any signals that you use to decide “this is a high quality video from reputable channel and it’s relevant”? I would imagine # of followers / likes / comments / like-comment ratio or the likes are used?

Thank you! I don't do anything fancy at the moment. The matching videos are presented in reverse chronological order. So you'll see the most recent videos that contain the keywords at the top, then older video matches as you scroll down the page. And the user provides the URL of the single YouTube channel they want to search within.

Thanks for checking out my project!
