This list is focused on videos but the search is what is beyond good, it's one of the best searches I've ever seen for content. You can literally use it as you would google. I'm assuming they transcribe their videos as well as run some object detection or image to text models that generate some metadata as to what is happening and or who or what is in a clip.

You are talkabout tiktok? The search is terrible. You can't order by date, no filters. Has this magically improved overnight?
You can't order by date or filter on Google either. I think the fact that young people use it over google as a search says something.
Actually, google's paid search API can order by date, ascending or descending.

Checkout this example:

I don't understand how the dates work on that. On the search you linked, the first result is an HN post with a date listed as "2000-09-18", but if you click the link, the post was from 3 months ago.
This is probably because the HN page doesn't contain the document date metadata. So google just picked a random date from that page.
I love this! Often when searching for some event I want the first report, not the spam that followed. Thank you for showing me this service.
You can order Google News by date and Search (at least in a desktop view) can be filtered to only include results from the past hour, day, week, month, or year.
Lots of people tagging the videos in the background for better algorithmic access.
