Washington: YouTube rolled out updates to its search filters in a bid to enhance content discovery and improve the user experience.

YouTube said in a blog post that one of those updates was a new filter dedicated specifically for shorts, which will help separate shorts content from the other traditional formats. Other changes included categorizing content by type, sorting it, and renaming the "View count" filter to "Popularity."

"Our goal is to equip you with more effective advanced search tools, ensuring you can consistently and efficiently locate the content you love," the company said.
