| Summary | 0019022: Include YouTube search relevance or view count in online searches | ||||
| Description | It can be difficult to find some songs via the online search, because there are often dozens of uploads with the same title and some even with the same artist. To facilitate searching for songs, since the majority of individuals will want to pick from the most popular uploads, some type of sorting should be enabled. Either: 1) If the YouTube API returns search results ordered by their algorithmic "relevancy" magic, they could be sorted by that relevance stat. or 2) add the view/listen count to the list of fields, allowing the user to find the most viewed variants in their search results. | ||||

We already display results sorted by relevancy, it is how YT returns them. It is not possible to display any statistics as view counts, because it is not part of result of this API call, the information is not there. It would mean to fetch statistics for each item separately by different requests, and it is not feasible, as we have to keep number of YT API requests low due to strict quotas. |
