okay when did this start????

[AsahinaKimi]

I go on google.com. It used to be you could click videos...NOW ITS ONLY YOUTUBE.COM? WHAT THE hell is that?? You use to be able to get a listing of about a dozen websites that had videos... now GOOGLE ONLY DOES YOUTUBE?

I hate this!

[The Straight Story]

1. Try this:

http://www.google.com/videohp

[AsahinaKimi]

2. It gives me mostly if not all

videos that are at youtube. meh!!!

In China some American websites are blocked from their view. I am wondering if this has started to happen here?

[Art_from_Ark]

3. Keep in mind that Google owns YouTube

I think that explains a lot.

[AsahinaKimi]

4. Its failed as a search engine

in my honest opinion, Art. Once you could find anything, anywhere.. NOW ITS LIKE the only food in town is McDonalds and you can't find any other kind of restaurant anywhere.

[Art_from_Ark]

9. It's certainly pretty lousy at finding images

Oftentimes, when I search for an image with key words, I'll get dozens of images that have no relation whatsoever to my search

[AsahinaKimi]

11. ooh I know...

I searched for "Fuji san" and "Mt. Fuji" and got images of some mountains in Washington State..and Mt. Shasta in California..

I was like what??? wow... really.

[Art_from_Ark]

23. I once searched for an image of an old Japanese coin

and got some images that weren't suitable for viewing at work!

5. Try Aol video

It's a great site to get video search results from all around the net.

[AsahinaKimi]

6. Thanks,

I will check it out.

[AsahinaKimi]

8. MEH!!

MANY of those from AOL...goes right to YOUTUBE.com also!!!

[Tunkamerica]

15. you're the first person I have ever heard praise AOL for anything since like 95.

[Shankapotomus]

16. LOL

And even THAT was unintended because my post originally recommended Trueveo.com but a quick check revealed Trueveo was no more (bought up by, guess who, AOL). So I quickly edited my post to redirect Kimi San to AOL.

Truveo was probably the best video search engine ever but apparently AOL's version is not up to snuff.

7. I use start page

instead of google.It dosent track you and shows vids from all sites

https://startpage.com/eng/

[AsahinaKimi]

10. This seems to work

better thanks...

I have been trying to find the song, "DIVE TO BLUE" by L'arc en ceil... on video. Youtube.com has that song blocked.. and its unavailable except by people who think they can sing that song.. (but really can't. argh!!!!)

[Tunkamerica]

14. but it uses google it just doesn't track you. I use it on firefox, but it is just google.

[marasinghe]

12. try this, as well.

unsophisticated (by design), but safe, search engine, which doesn't mess with your privacy.

from PC Magazine's 'Top 100 Websites of 2011':
".... Growing since its launch five years ago, DuckDuckGo is the search engine for the rest of us—those who like their privacy and extra relevance to search results, that is. It may just be following the "Don't be evil" credo that Google once espoused, with promises of less spam and clutter on results, which is a great start. — by Eric Griffith ...."

19. I am book marking this

Thanks for your help..

[Tunkamerica]

13. there are lots of search engines

seriously, do some research.

and google bought youtube. Your complaint is like going to a Honda dealership and complaining they only carry Hondas.

and it started a week or so ago.

[AsahinaKimi]

20. You saw me ask when did this happen...

And you said it started a week or so ago... I didn't have this information. Where would I even be notified about this kind of thing. I don't know if anyone on DU has mentioned it... this is the first I have heard of it.

DO research? I used Yahoo, Google, Bing... a few others...all pointing me back to YOUTUBE.com for this song.


Its like trying to get directions to get on the freeway..and someone saying " YOU CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE..."

[Tunkamerica]

21. NM i see you found it

[Motown_Johnny]

22. I noticed it about a week ago also

Not that I kept track but that seems like an accurate estimate to me.

[Princess Turandot]

17. The first result which turned up for me was not from YouTube..

I first searched "DIVE TO BLUE" (with the quotes) then clicked on 'videos' in the left hand navigation panel:

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22DIVE+TO+BLUE%22&num=100&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US fficial&prmdo=1&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=vid&ei=5hJXT8-hC9LD0AGK0PTkDw&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=4&ved=0CCIQ_AUoAw&biw=1403&bih=706

There are others, although lower down.

[AsahinaKimi]

18. wow

That wasn't what i got....that page. I got a ton of videos that were Youtube..that were COVERS...I think they call them. That's where people try to sing the song... and as for the Song by L'arc en ciel ..its been removed by the Sony Corporation.


on your link i found this:
http://www.animelyrics.com/jpop/larcenciel/divetoblue.htm

totally excellent!!! This is classic L'arc en Ciel sung by Hyde... I LOVE this song...its a good thing
i purchased it when I did... JUST its hard to find any of their videos.. since Sony Corp has requested they be blocked.

24. My 13 yr old son found this

www.swagbucks.com

You get 'swagbucks' for using the search engine.

He bought me a kindle for christmas and himself a bunch of other things.
For free.

I use it instead of the big G and dont miss it at all.

Oh, I got his account up to 6548, just 20K more for the good stuff he wants.

For free. no tricks.

25. I've been using ixquick as my search engine.

Here's a link to their video search: https://www.ixquick.com/eng/video.html

[AsahinaKimi]

28. oh wow thanks for your help

I have bookmarked it!

[Dr. Strange]

26. Okay, here's what's happening.

Youtube has gotten so big that they tend to dominate any video search. So if you want to find a video, but don't want any youtube links, just put in "-youtube" at the end of your search:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=dive+to+blue+-youtube <--This is the ordinary search, so you'll have to click on "videos" at the left

[Lucinda]

27. The old video link is on the left side of the window now

You can still search for other videos, it's just that they list youtube up top

29. ^^THIS^^
