More Joost hints
The day after Halloween – okay, I guess that is November 1 – the holiday decorations came out in my neighborhood. This is Manhattan, so there are no lawn ornaments like in my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, but there are wintry decorations and lights all over the place.
In my mind, it’s not officially the holiday season until Thanksgiving, but I’m trying to get into it early. As part of my “get into the holiday spirit,” I thought I’d be charitable and give up some Joost tricks.
So for today, we have some search tools.
| Type these words with your search term… | And you’ll find… |
| type:channel | Matches in channel names |
| type:video | Matches in video names |
| order:popular | Returns results in the order of most-to-least popular |
| order:new | Returns the newest result first |
| order:title | Returns results alphabetically by title |
| subject:music | Returns all matches in that category (in this case, music) |
| subject:every other category | Returns matches in every other alphabetical category |
| count:100 | Returns 100 results |
| start:101 | Begins with the 101st result |
Want to try it out? Search for Jay-Z type:video order:popular subject:music. You'll get videos (no channels) in the music genre, with the most popular one listed first.
As one last winter-themed gift for the day, see if you can make it snow in Joost.
