About

Search YouTube for a topic and channels get buried under pages of videos. This channel finder applies YouTube's own Type: Channel search filter, so every result is a channel. Type cooking, tech reviews or a brand name to list the channels working in that space along with their size, which is a quick way to scout collaborators or size up a niche.

How to use

Enter a keyword and press Run. Each result is a card with the avatar and channel name, a check mark after verified names, a line with the @handle and subscriber label, a description snippet and the channel ID with a copy button. Click a name to open the channel in a new tab. If nothing matches, the page says no channel was found.

A channel-only result list

The request carries YouTube's own channel filter parameter, which is the same thing you get by opening Filters on a YouTube search page and picking Channel. The upside is that dozens of videos for a popular keyword no longer crowd the top. The downside is that an account famous for one viral upload, with an unrelated channel name, may sit lower than you expect.

Whose search this is

The server searches as a logged-out visitor with the interface set to English and the region set to the United States, with no watch history or subscriptions attached. Your own signed-in search may order things differently. What you see here is closer to what a stranger gets typing the keyword for the first time, and an identical keyword is served from cache for about ten minutes.

The subscriber label on each card

Each card repeats the subscriber text exactly as YouTube's search page shows it, for example 1.2M subscribers, without converting it. For total views, video count and join date, copy the channel ID into the channel statistics page and run it there.

After you pick a channel

The finder only builds the shortlist. Once you have a target, its channel ID goes straight into the other channel tools on this site: full statistics, the logo and banner downloader and the subscribe link generator all accept a UC ID as input.

FAQ

How do I search for channels only on YouTube?

Type your keyword here. The search already carries YouTube's Type: Channel filter, so videos and playlists never show up in the list.

Why is a channel I know missing from the results?

YouTube ranks the results and only the first page comes back. Try a keyword closer to the channel's name, or paste its @handle into the channel ID finder.

What does the check mark next to a channel name mean?

It is YouTube's verification badge. It says nothing about subscriber count, and some large channels go without it.

Can I search YouTube channels with non-English keywords?

Keywords are passed to YouTube exactly as typed, in any language. The request comes from a signed-out visitor with English and United States settings, which shapes the ranking.
