Inexplicably, despite having the same parent company, a google (or any engine really) search is going to have far better results for finding videos on youtube. I swear they stopped improving the internal search capability back in 2010, when they could have just punted to google.com ages ago.
Have you seen google photos ? The search function there is shockingly bad. Even when I know a photo exists of xyz, searching for xyz or words related to xyz finds either nothing at all, or unrelated images.
Perhaps that’s a blessing in disguise. They know way too much about me already. I was also glad, in retrospect, that they started limiting photo storage as I no longer upload any photos to them. The Android app is big mad about that and periodically tries to trick me into re-enabling uploads.
