JAKARTA - YouTube has again updated its search feature by introducing a new filter that allows users to remove Shorts videos from search results. This feature gives users more control over displaying long-form videos when searching for informative content, tutorials, or in-depth explanations.

So far, the presence of Shorts on YouTube has reaped a variety of responses. Although popular for short entertainment, many users complain about the appearance of short videos in search results, even when they are looking for longer, more serious content. This condition is often considered annoying because Shorts are often irrelevant to search needs that require a complete explanation.

With the latest search filter, users can now choose to display only long-form videos and exclude Shorts. This option makes the search results clearer and more in line with the user's purpose. Those who do not want to constantly see short videos can immediately turn off Shorts from the search results.

This update is also considered timely, given the increasing number of user complaints regarding recycled Shorts videos that often appear repeatedly in feeds and search results. The ability to filter out such content is expected to increase user confidence in YouTube's search system.

This feature is expected to be very helpful for students, students, and professionals who often search for learning materials, online lectures, or technical explanations that require a longer duration. The update also confirms that long video content still has an important role, even though the trend of short videos continues to dominate social media platforms.

YouTube states that this search filter feature will be launched gradually. Most users in various regions are expected to be able to access it in the next few days.
