Top image is YouTube search for "Bif Naked Let Down", which brings up prompt to Sign In to confirm age. The bottom is the same search query with the word "naked" removed from the artist's name, which brings up search results.

Do a video search with "site:youtube.com" on the various Web search engines that have a video search.

You don't need to use YouTube's search engine to search YouTube.

EDIT: I mean, many of you, like me, probably long-since tried and then gave up on using Reddit's (really bad, at least last time I tried it) search engine to search Reddit, but found that doing "site:reddit.com" searches on Web search engines was still useful. The same principle applies elsewhere...

EDIT2: Plus, you may not even want the site:youtube.com qualifier, if you're fine with videos from other video-hosting websites.

    YT's own search is garbage anyway. Whenever I try to use it, it's completely useless. Language preferences are also non-existent anymore, it seems. Even if I set everything to English and the query is also in English, it still gives me only results in local language.
