Navigate to Content > Videos; the search is in the upper right corner of the page.

Search filtering tips and best practices

• With the exception of Title and Description, you can begin any search with a minus sign (“-”) to search for any videos that do NOT include your term.
  • For instance, if you wanted to find all videos that were not tagged with “hiking” you could search for “-tags:hiking” 
• You can combine searches to narrow your results even more.
  • For example, if you're looking for a video that is original content that is only available in France, search for `license:original geo_available:fr`
• When using filters, do not include a space between the filter and the term, as shown in the examples below.
