Google? Query, then click on the video's tab. Don't want to use Google? You can also use Duck duck go, startpage.com, or anything similar using the same steps.
Oh, the horror. DDG is only better because it's not the big G, otherwise it returns the same nonesense search optimized slop. If your data is not important, russian site yandex gives different hits (def better for the high seas). There's also a paid websearch (forgot the name) that seems legit.
Internet is dead.
The paid one is Kagi and search results are pretty good.
Stupid comment. Search "rare places to visit" on google and get ready for 10 pages of AI slop articles and those that are not AI are always the same copy pasted from each other. On tiktok locals will make their own list of prefered places and show them and how to go there.
Use before:yyyy/mm/dd and/or after:yyyy/mm/dd in the search box to specify date ranges, and search for results before 2020 to remove all the AI slop.
Much easier than giving away your data to a company known for spreading misinformation, pushing AI content and genuinely worsening social interactions online and in real life.
