content_type=videoVideo
Pages whose primary content is video, indexed through their text metadata and transcripts rather than through the video itself.
Indexed through surrounding text and transcripts rather than the media itself. Useful for discovery; the passage text is what gets retrieved.
Retrieval quality here follows transcript quality, which varies enormously between a professionally captioned upload and an automatic transcript of a noisy recording. Treat a video hit as a pointer to a source rather than as a quotable passage.
