How YouTube Search works YouTube Help

The Search Console API value is for the accepted values for the searchAppearance dimension. Grouping is not supported for search type because the results page layout is very different for different search types. For example, position 30 in image search results might be on the first result page, but larabet position 30 in web search would be on page three. Aggregated by page means that each unique URL in a search result is counted once, even if they point to the same page. In this case, if a query contains two URLs from the same site (example.com/petstore/giraffe and example.com/recipes/pumpkin_pie), this is counted as two impressions. Aggregated by property means that all results for the same query that point to the same Search Console property are counted once in total.
However, if you filter by the rare value (in this example “Deutsche Bundesbank”), you should see data values for both dimensions. The result can be free-standing or part of a carousel of similar result types. Some queries (called anonymized queries) are not shown in these results to protect the privacy of the user making the query.

Discrepancies between chart totals and table totals

You can use words or symbols called search operators to filter your Gmail search results. You can also combine operators to filter your results even more. In the algorithm above, “RAND_CONF” grabs a random configuration qrand in C. This may be replaced with a function “RAND_FREE_CONF” that uses samples in Cfree, while rejecting those in Cobs using some collision detection algorithm.

What are your most popular queries?

You can narrow results for complex searches with Advanced Search. For example, you can find sites in German that were updated in the last 24 hours or clip art images in black and white. To help you discover content safely, we’ve implemented measures for search queries that might lead to potentially sensitive or graphic content.
You might want to see how many queries show your site when the user does or doesn’t include a specific word or phrase, such as a brand name. Also remember that it’s very hard to determine exactly where on the page a specific position refers to. A safer bet is to aim for position 10 or lower, and to try not to drop in position over time. In general, you should focus more on impressions and clicks than on position.

Reading the table

  • The copyright notice found in the OpenOffice.org “Calc Guide” is included in its complete form below.
  • Aggregated by property means that all results for the same query that point to the same Search Console property are counted once in total.
  • We have made slight modifications to syntax and descriptions to fit the format of this table and match the functions’ implementation and use in Google spreadsheets.
  • You can narrow results for complex searches with Advanced Search.
  • Please upgrade to a newer, modern browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox for an optimal viewing experience.
  • From the demo, we can tell that there is a problem with this algorithm.

In addition to the numbers above, RRT volunteers have donated millions of meals and counting through our iconic Food Box initiative. RRT displays care and compassion to people in crisis, providing free catering assistance and tangible support to emergency services, government and charitable organisations. Our team of volunteers are mobilised across the globe to serve where and when it is needed most. “NEAREST_VERTEX” is a function that runs through all vertices v in graph G, calculates the distance between qrand and v using some measurement function thereby returning the nearest vertex.

  • You can learn the canonical URL for a page using the URL Inspection tool.
  • Values shown as either ~ or – in the report (not available/not a number) will be zeros in the downloaded data.
  • Applies to listings that appear in general search results (type Web) and Google Images.
  • The newest data can be preliminary; preliminary data is indicated when you hover or select it on the graph.
  • That’s why YouTube’s search ranking system is designed to help you quickly find what you’re looking for.
  • A lightweight, transcoded version of a webpage, optimized for viewing over slow data connections.

We look at overall user engagement, such as the watch time of a particular video for a particular query to determine if the video is considered relevant to the query by other users. Finally, for quality, our system is designed to identify signals that can help determine which channels demonstrate expertise, authoritativeness and trustworthiness on a given topic. Table data is aggregated by property except when grouped by page or search appearance, when it is grouped by page. Preliminary data is displayed on the chart with a dotted line. When you hover the dotted line, a note appears to remind you that data is still being collected. When data points with preliminary data are selected, the tables will also display information from those days/hours.

As a result, not all queries beyond anonymized queries will be shown. Instead, the focus is on showing you the most important ones for your entire property. You can group and filter your data by the following dimensions. The table shows data grouped by the selected dimension (for example, by query, page, or country). As we can see from the demo, with no obstacle, the algorithm is able to find a path directly to the goal.

More about the data

Here’s a list of all the functions available in each category. When using them, don’t forget to add quotation marks around all function components made of alphabetic characters that aren’t referring to cells or columns. These measures apply to all users, specifically for these types of queries. Unlike all other views, the 24-hour view where each data point represents an hour, shows preliminary data points by default. Read details about how clicks, impressions, and position are counted and calculated. Regular expression search enables you to match several substrings with significant differences.
See dimensions, metrics, and about the data to understand the numbers. Utilizes R-trees to improve performance by avoiding point-wise collision-checking and distance-checking. Please upgrade to a newer, modern browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox for an optimal viewing experience.
Anonymized queries are included in chart totals unless you filter by query (either queries containing or queries not containing a given string). When your search query is identified as seeking this type of content, search result thumbnails will be blurred by default. This gives you a moment to review the results before deciding to view the video. You’ll still see the video title, channel name and details, helping you to decide if it’s what you’re looking for. If you prefer to view the thumbnails as usual, you’ll always have the option to turn off blurring. If you filter by search appearance, it is not guaranteed that all clicks for a given URL were on the link with the filtered feature type.
The same page can have multiple search appearance features in a single session, but only one impression is counted for each feature type. For example, a page can have both a rich result and a search result link in one query. Depending on which tabs you select, the chart shows total clicks, total impressions, average CTR (click through rate), and average position for your property.
