The capacity to filter short-form videos from YouTube search results addresses the needs of users seeking longer content or avoiding distractions. This ability enables focused exploration of tutorials, documentaries, or music performances, preventing short-form content, which often prioritizes quick entertainment, from dominating search result listings.
Refinement of search results improves the efficiency of information retrieval. By suppressing shorts, users can save time by focusing on content more aligned with their specific goals, such as educational resources or in-depth analysis. The lack of direct functionality within YouTube has driven a need for external methods to achieve this filtering.
