Which Is The Best Video Search Engine Of 2025? Top 12 Video Search Engines!

There’s no doubt about how we are all fans of scrolling socials and watching videos! On average, data says that a person spends more than 2 hours on watching videos. 

Moreover, as per Kinsta.com, 69% of viewers watch videos that talk at length about a service or a product. In comparison, only 18% of consumers prefer reading text-based content, while 4% prefer infographics. Naturally, finding the best video search engine is imperative for business owners and marketeers. 

But what are these video search engines? Moreover, how can you find the best spaces for watching videos? Moreover, if you are creating videos then how can you ensure that users can find the right kind of content. 

Meet video search engine – just like you search for anything in the world on Google or on some other search engine, you can go to video search engines to exclusively search for video content.

Today, I’ll discuss the best video search engines for 2025. Stay tuned. 

What Is The Best Video Search Engine In 2025? Top 12 Video Search Engines!

So, what is the best video search engine of 2025? It entirely depends on your requirements, or rather what your business needs. 

Let’s find out which is the best video search engine depending on your business requirements. 

So, here are my suggestions:

1. Google:

It is anything but a surprise that the most popular video search engine in 2025 is Google. 

The best part? Google is great with all types of search – video being one of them. Moreover, you access the video search option easily under its search bar. Also, you can find the video search option incorporated with other types of search like images and news. 

In addition, Google has several filters for finding the right videos. This includes:

• Date Range: to find out when the video was posted. 
• Duration: to find the length of the video. 
• Quality: to find the quality – low or high – of the video. 
• Source: to find where the video was published. 
• Caption Status: to find whether the video is closed-captioned or not. 

Also, you can navigate to the search engine’s settings and click on ‘Advanced Search’ for more options. For instance, you can look up videos in different languages. 

Mobile Video Search:

Also, you can do a reverse image search to find the video you are looking for on Google. Yep! Thanks to Google’s solid mobile solution Google Lens, you can take photos with your smartphone, crop them, and search for similar content. 

2. YouTube:

YouTube is not like traditional video search engines – it ONLY helps users look up videos, that is, it’s a platform for exclusively video content. 

However, it is also true that every minute content worth of 500 hours (or more) is uploaded on the platform. Naturally, it means there is a pretty good potential of finding video content you have been looking for. 

Interestingly, Google happens to own YouTube – this only adds to YouTube’s search capabilites making it an excellent platform. 

Much like Google’s video search, YouTube also allows users to filter videos by date and duration. Moreover, users can also use YouTube to find videos in different categories such as:

• Live.
• HD.
• 4K. 
• Subtitles/CC.
• 360°.
• Creative Commons.
• 3D.
• VR180.
• Location.
• HDR.
• Purchased.

Apart from videos, users can also use YouTube to search for movies, playlists, and channels. 

3. Bing:

Google is relatively more popular than Bing or any other search engine with Google owning about 87% of the market share as compared to Bing’s only 7%. 

However, while looking for video content, it is best to talk about Bing – this is because there are certain areas where Bing’s video search engine performs better than Google.

Much like Google, the filters that Bing uses include source, date, and duration. 

Also, Bing prioritizes video quality. While Google only allows users to search by ‘high quality’ or ‘any quality,’ Bing walks the extra mile with multiple options including:

• All.
• 1080p or Higher.
• 720p or Higher.
• 480p or Higher.
• 360p or Higher.
• Lower Than 360p

In addition, Bing also enables users to filter their video search by whether the videos are paid or free. 

Also, on the face of things, Bing’s SERPs for video search are much more visually appealing as compared to Google with bigger thumbnails that display previews worth a few seconds when a user hovers over the same. 

The best part? When you click on any video from the SERPs, you can directly watch the video instead of getting redirected to the video’s source website. 

4. DuckDuckGo:

Not everyone loves traditional video search engines like Bing or Google. 

Yep! Concerns about privacy and cybersecurity have convinced many people to choose DuckDuckGo – a search engine that doesn’t track a user’s search history, blocks all external trackers, and connects users to a website’s encrypted version when possible. 

So, if you prefer staying out of Google’s ‘control,’ then you will be happy to know about DuckDuckGo’s video search. 

The best part? This search engine enables users search videos with the help of primary filters (much like Google) including license type, date, resolution, and video duration. Also, one of the best features of the search engine is that it allows users to change location to view the search results for different regions or countries. 

5. Dailymotion:

Right behind YouTube, this video hosting platform has more than 300 million users. Much like YouTube, Dailymotion offers video content exclusively to its users. However, the search filters unlike YouTube are limited to upload date and video duration. 

But you can always count on Dailymotion and YouTube jointly for a broad list of search results. 

6. Facebook:

Another popular video search engine is Facebook. 

It is the 3rd biggest website online right after Google and obviously YouTube. Facebook has a whole section dedicated to watching and sharing videos called Facebook Watch – this section has more than 1.25 billion viewers every month. 

Also, you can look for videos on this page or just enter terms in the primary search bar and click on the ‘video’ option. The best part? You can easily filter videos by the upload date and the video type. So, you can choose whether you want to see music videos, live videos, shows, or just old, saved videos. 

7. Dogpile:

Way back in 1996, Dogpile was launched – a metasearch engine that used to aggregate results from WebCraler, Yahoo!, Excite, Lycos, HotBot, Infoseek, Alta Vista, World Wide Web Worm, and WhatUSeek. 

So, while most of these old search engines don’t exist anymore, Dogpile has survived. Currently, it can get your results from different search engines including Yandex, Yahoo!, and Google. 

In addition, Dogpile as a video search engine does not have any filtering options. However, it can be a great way to ensure that you are getting results from different sources. 

8. Veoh:

Veoh is yet another video search engine that is made specifically for videos. Launched in 2005 (just like YouTube), Veoh used to be one of the most popular spaces on the internet for videos in the mid-2000s.

However, the platform failed to grow and lost popularity on the internet. Eventually, Veoh filed for bankruptcy and changed ownership. 

Moreover, Veoh cannot compete with popular platforms like Vimeo and YouTube. Plus, so much of the content on Veoh is outdated. However, it does have a unique feature that makes it a top priority on the list. 

Apart from genre and duration, Veoh allows users to search videos by language and subtitles. So, you can easily watch Spanish videos with English subtitles. No other video search engine featured on this list can actually do it.

9. Berify:

I’ve already discussed search engines that people can use for doing a reverse video search. These platforms require users to depend on images from a video. 

Moreover, Berify is an excellent tool for doing reverse image search since it is designed to look for a user’s video screenshot on major search engines like Google and Bing. 

Also, you need an account for using Berify. With the help of the tool’s free plan, you can do reverse search for five images. 

10. Vimeo:

Trailing closely behind Dailymotion and YouTube, Vimeo is the third biggest platform for video hosting in the world currently. 

While Vimeo does not have multiple videos much like YouTube, it does allow users to opt for a higher audio and video quality. At times, you will come across the same videos on both YouTube and Vimeo – but you will see that the quality is better on Vimeo.

Moreover, you can use Vimeo to search videos and filter the same by:

• Duration.
• Category.
• Paid or Free.
• Upload date. 
• License type. 
• Whether the videos are ‘staff pick,’ 360 degrees, or live. 

Additionally, Vimeo is a good alternative for both content creators and marketing professionals. 

11. Social Searcher:

Social media sites like Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook, and more have plenty of video content.

But why even jump from one site to another when you can use Social Searcher to look across several platforms simultaneously?

So, there are 11 different sources on Social Searcher – you can choose the source and filter videos by language and sentiment.

Also, the tool offers analytics for complete search results. As a result, you can check who are the most popular posters, the general sentiment of the content, the common keywords, and more.

Moreover, the tool also tends to miss several videos. For detailed results, you can also search each source individually. The best part? This tool is great for overviewing videos on a specific subject across different social media platforms. 

12. Ecosia:

Wouldn’t it be perfect if spending time in front of your screen could save the environment? 

So, it’s kinda possible with Ecosia. This tool uses the advertisement revenue from a user’s search for planting trees in the spots that need them the most. As per Ecosia’s data, it takes almost 45 searches to plant trees. 

Interestingly, Bing is the power behind Ecosia. As a result, chances are your results are similar. Moreover, you can easily filter videos by time posted, duration, and resolution. Also, you can find out how many trees Ecosia has planted so far, thanks to the platform’s counter.
