I have a question regarding the search function in Youtube. You already know that if you were to search for a Code Lyoko video, that if you were to type in a name of a tag of that video, then the video would show up when you click 'search.' But here's another thing which is that if you have some name not listed as a tag and is only in your description for your video (like the name 'Season 4') and if you were to type in 'Code Lyoko Season 4,' and click 'search,' you should find your video with the name 'Season 4' in bold in the description along with 'Code Lyoko.'

Knowing this, you should be able to put every single episode name (the names of all the episodes of Code Lyoko) in your video description which should result in that if anyone were to search for an episode of Code Lyoko, that they will also find your video (for each and every episode that they search for). Thus resulting in a ton of views for your video since there are many people who search for Code Lyoko episodes on Youtube.

But however, I have uploaded a video and I have included the words "Code Lyoko" and also the word "awesome" in my video description. Now when I do a search in which I type in "Code Lyoko awesome," there are videos that do show up in which the words "Code Lyoko" and "awesome" do show up in bold as the only bold words in video descriptions of other Code Lyoko videos people have uploaded. But however, my video does not show up. I have even included all the episode names in my description and that when I do a search for any episode name, my video does not show up and yet there are some videos of other people that do (even if the episode name is only listed in bold in the description).

So what I'm saying is that each and every single word in a video description should be like tags in that if you were to search for just one word of your video description, that your video should show up (including videos of others). But it seems it doesn't work that way for some strange reason. So I ask why is that?

A few reasons, including cheating for hits. :P

Yeah. a lot of people feel cheaped out of something when the video they're looking for doesn't get any hits, so they have gone as far to list every anime known to man and a few known to chipmonks. Which means videos people don't want to se that have no relation to their searches. So how do you deal with that? Don't allow massive tags.
