Non-musical results in search

singhpratyush commented 8 years ago

Many times, people get results that are not related to music while making a search on our platform. This happens because we simply perform a Youtube search as of now.

Proposed Solution

To overcome such situations, we can add these suffixes to the search we perform -

song
full song
movie songs
album songs
remix
instrumental
karaoke
acapella
cover song

and and present the combined result to user.

Performance

Here is an example for search query lamborghini -

Without suffixes

KSI - Lamborghini (Explicit) ft. P Money
LAMBORGHINI RACE
Batman Lamborghini Uber Prank!
BUYING A LAMBORGHINI?!
Bugatti Veyron vs Lamborghini Aventador vs Lexus LFA vs McLaren MP4-12C - Head 2 Head Episode 8
...
With suffixes
KSI - Lamborghini (Explicit) ft. P Money
Skrillex & Rick Ross - Purple Lamborghini [Official Video]

Advantages
We will be providing more search results to user than what we are doing now.
Almost all the result will be related to Music and not some supercar races.
User may discover different type of songs that they may love or find interesting (remixes, instrumentals, karaokes, etc.).
Disadvantages
Put slightly more load on server while making search (will be insignificant according to me).
When people see results like xyz instrumental or xyz apacella, they may end up thinking that "There is some fault in the search they are performing. It's crap let's go back to Youtube".

It looks like a good idea. I just test using OR in youtube search and it seems to work. Eg > wajah tum ho (full song|remix|song|kareoke|instrumental) . So it won't create any performance issue either. The results look convenient too. Eg, try -

moonlight sonata (full song|remix|song|kareoke|instrumental)
aashiqui 2 (full song|remix|song|kareoke|instrumental|movie songs)
tum hi ho (full song|remix|song|kareoke|instrumental|movie songs)

I think we can implement this feature. On the other hand, we need to carefully pick the words that will be appended. I think the following is sufficient.

(full song|remix|song|kareoke|instrumental|movie songs|album songs)
