Thread: Is youtube a Search Engine?

Hey guys,
In the youtube we can search any type of video and able to get result. If we consider it as a search engine. Then will it be a mistake? Please give your opinion.

Yeah! YouTube is a video search engine.

YouTube is a online Video site. It is not a search engine because it can search only videos that are uploaded on YouTube and no other video or information.

Youtube isnt a search engine its a video uploading site, though you could upload videos about your product to market it.

I agree with you. In order to determine what is the search engine
"A web search engine is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are generally presented in a list of results often referred to as search engine results pages (SERPs). The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories"

You tube is also a social networking sites like facebook, twitter etc.Here we share more website videos.

youtube is not a search engine .it's a video sharing site

you tube is multimedia search site.it provides us all type of the multimedia related information such as audio,video, various tutorials and many more , so we consider it as a multimedia search engine.

What is Search Engine ?
Running on Internet, Search Engine is a world wide web program, which serves the information based on each query in the format of documents, files or else.

And Youtube is purely different from such, youtube basically a Social Networking Video zone. Which help you only with the videos.

Its not a search engine but you can find and upload any video on it.

I don't think so... You tube is online video website here we can search only videos...
