The Best Video Search Engine: Find Exactly What You Need

If you’ve ever needed to find a specific video clip for research, inspiration, or another project, you may have struggled with limited options for video search. Traditional search engines like Google can be helpful for finding videos hosted on YouTube and other platforms, but what if you need to search within videos themselves?

Luckily, there are now dedicated video search engines that index video content and allow you to search directly through the visuals and audio. Here’s an overview of some top options and why ICONO stands out as the most powerful video discovery tool.

The Top Video Search Engines

Google: While Google can search YouTube videos, it doesn’t actually index video content itself. You’re searching titles, descriptions and transcripts rather than the visuals and sounds.

Bing Videos: Microsoft’s video search is similar to Google in prioritizing metadata over indexed video. Results are often just YouTube links.

Shoteck: Shotdeck indexes over 700,000 video clips but only provides still frames rather than playable video content.

Flim.ai: As a screenshot search engine, flim.ai faces the same limitations as shotdeck in not serving full-length video.
