YouTube will let you use text prompts to search within videos: Here is how it works

Google announced a new Youtube feature at the Google for India 2022 event that lets users input text prompts to search for specific moments in a video. When you search for a topic on Google and are presented with a related video, you must watch the entire video to reach the point with the information you’re looking for. Google is now trying to simplify this experience by letting users search within the videos via text prompts. 

How does Youtube’s Search in Video feature work?

Google Search currently displays YouTube videos with highlighted sections that show the part of the video that correlates with your search query. These key moments may not always give you all the answers you’re looking for, which is where the new ‘search in video’ comes into play. On selecting the feature, you need to enter a text prompt related to what you’re looking for, and the video will start playing from the desired moment. 

This feature has not started rolling out to all users yet but will be done soon.
