Find Videos of a Particular Length

SUMMARY: Limit your Bing video search results to short snippets, longer clips, or entire episodes.

When looking for particular videos to watch via Microsoft's Bing search engine, you may only have a few minutes of break time at work (watching videos at work - nobody does that, right? <g>) and want to limit your results to shorter clips. Perhaps you're waiting a few minutes for your favorite show to come on TV and have more time to watch videos. Or you may be looking for longer clips or entire episodes of TV shows posted online.

1. Click "Videos" underneath "Explore" from Bing's front page to search for videos, or access Bing's videos search directly via one of the following URLs:

http://videos.bing.com
http://www.bing.com/videos

2. Perform a video search. As an example, search for daily show john stewart.

3. On the left side of the results page, click the plus sign next to "LENGTH" and click one of the following options:

* short (< 5 min)
* medium (5-20 min)
* long (> 20 min)

The results page will change reflecting your choice.

Sample video results from the Bing search engine for short "The Daily Show with John Stewart" clips

If you don't want to use the filters, limit your results by entering one of the following keywords at the end of your query:

filterui:duration-short
filterui:duration-medium
filterui:duration-long

For example:

daily show john stewart filterui:duration-long
