Why is youtube showing this set of videos on searching XYZ?
Which channel's most videos make it to the top search results?
How relevant are youtube search results for me?
Obviously none except people at youtube can tell how youtube search algorithm works but if you ever have searched on youtube anonymously, you might have noticed that by default the seach filter is set to Relevance. This project aims to analyse the top search results which a user may get upon searching anything on Youtube.com from a non-personalized account.
Considering that youtube algorithms work different for different people. (Sorry Kant!) We will analyse the top search results that are selected from millions of videos on youtube. All the search results retrieved would be formatted and then respresented so as to get better understanding of the trends.
