Re:Show HN: YouTube Full Text Search – Search all of a chann... by dredmorbius on Saturday May 20, 2023 @03:09PM (#36014673)
Some of us recall that when Google+ launched it lacked any search whatsoever.

That this was the case with a company whose name is synonymous with online search was ... simply mind-boggling.

The platform eventually did get search (actually a few different implementations), which varied between mostly useless to actually reasonably functional, though I'll note that HN's Algolia-based search is vastly more useful on an ongoing basis.

G+'s content, to the extent it survives at all, is largely on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine which ... lacks search.
