Somewhat related, friend use to had setup that automatically downloads YT subtitles, lowbit rate audio and video preview thumbnails to create searchable archive that doesn't use much space. Found it very useful for his studies but thumbnails wasn't great for slides.

Very cool! Well done! I've not got a legit use for it right now but the few example searches I thought up returned the videos I was thinking of Nice work!
Cool! Thank you! Here are some example use-cases that I included in another comment, in case any of them are relevant to you: 1. You want to find all videos within a YouTube channel that mention your brand, your product, or the topics you care about. 2. You remember watching a video where a certain topic was discussed, and now you're trying to remember which video it was to rewatch it. 3. You run your own YouTube cha…
e: thinking about it I know a few people who pull highlights out of their older content (sort of #3). Shared with them :)
would you add support for regexes? I would like to search for rich evans saying "aiiiiiiiiids" with varying word length but now i can only search for "aids" https://videomentions.com/search?channelUrl=https%253A%252F%...
Hey @dmead! Yeah, I would consider adding support for regex/advanced filtering options if there was enough demand for it. For now, I’d recommend either separate searches or performing a search, the doing ctrl/cmd+f to search within the matches on the page. Thanks for checking it out!

it's considered funny when one of these movie reviewers calls something "aids" but it says it with a varying amount if "i"'sin the word. so it would be cool if we could find all the instances of rich evans being crass.

Could you do a search based on their watch history if they have it enabled?
This is a cool idea! It wouldn't apply to people who want to search all the videos on a given channel for specific keywords (including those they haven't watched). I can see it being useful for folks trying to locate a specific video they remember watching in the past, though. One consideration is that getting the user's watch history would likely require calls to the YouTube API. So that means I would have to make t…
This project is doing a variation of it:

My vision of it would require some pretty strong UI skills, or maybe nowadays it's not so hard to accomplish impressive things.
Very useful website - thank you for the service
One of the consequences of the effectiveness of click-bait titles on youtube is that searching for videos you watched historically is extremely difficult, because quite often the primary thing in the video is never mentioned in the title. The descriptions are almost universally used to store common links that are about the channel not the video and the consequence of this is that click-bait titled content is very har…

Site's definitely bookmarked in my toolbox for sure! I imagine #2 will be my primary use case personally -- If not for me, to answer "Does anyone know the video where.." e: thinking about it I know a few people who pull highlights out of their older content (sort of #3). Shared with them :)
I've been wanting to make a supercut of Civvie 11 mentioning John Carmack but have been putting it off. This just did half the work for me, amazing!
Pretty cool. I could see this as a useful automated tool for companies to monitor their brand, or competitors. Maybe a weekly report of channels that have mentioned specific keywords.
Thanks for checking out my project!
I wanted to try it but for some reason it doesn't accept Lex Fridman's channel as a valid URL: https://www.youtube.com/c/lexfridman
