01. Search starts with a question
Search works best when you know a title, subject or creator. It can still surface familiar channels if you repeat the same queries.
02. Recommendations start with signals
Personalized recommendations may respond to prior activity. That can be useful for continuity but may narrow the variety you see.
03. Discovery can start with boundaries
Instead of one exact search query, choose acceptable languages, durations and broad subject ranges.
04. Where OYF fits
Outside Your Feed is an independent discovery feed, not a replacement for YouTube search or the YouTube homepage.
