How to Search a Video Inside a
YouTube Playlist
It's 2025, and YouTube still hasn't added a search bar to playlists.
We decided to fix that for you.
The Struggle is Real: Finding one video in thousands
"Is it just me, or is it completely insane that in 2025, we still can't search for a video within a playlist?"
This question has resonated with thousands of frustrated users. And honestly? They have a point.
The Problem: The Endless Scroll
If you have a playlist with hundreds—or even thousands—of videos (think coding tutorials, historical documentaries, or music archives), finding one specific clip is a nightmare.
Your current options on YouTube are painful:
- ✕Manual ScrollingScroll, scroll, wait for lazy loading, scroll more... until your finger hurts.
- ✕Ctrl+F FailsBrowsers can't find text in videos that haven't loaded yet. Position #450? Good luck.
- ✕Global SearchTakes you out of the playlist context, losing your queue and 'Up Next' flow.
"It feels like we're being told that our video collections are important, but not important enough to be easily navigable."
The Solution: V1.4.4 Real-Time Search
At YouTube Playlist Length Calculator, we listen to our users. We realized that calculating duration is just one part of managing a playlist. Finding content inside it is just as critical.
That's why we are thrilled to announce Version 1.4.4, featuring a dedicated In-Playlist Video Search Engine.
