When looking for music videos, original music video should be the first result

When searching for "norwegian reggaeton" I get the original video result as #3, while the first result is some "reaction" video.

If I change sorting to "Views" and "Most first" I get original video as #5

In regular search videos sections show correct order of videos (original is #1).

I expected:
1) First result is original video in 100% of cases
2) than all live/cover variants of the song
3) only the last ones should be "reaction to" content (if there would be a setting to remove reactions altogether I'd do that)

P.S. Google in Video search makes original video #1, Bing doesn't show original video at all, maybe that why in your results it is on #3, but imho this is unacceptable.

Definitely. While Kagi's web search is excellent, I tend to fall back on Google when searching videos. The results are often sparse, out of date, or not even fully pertinent.

How would you propose going about detecting the original video? This is definitely not always clear...

RoxyRoxyRoxy I think by comparing number of views while maintaining that search term is still matched. You do that in regular kagi search, and it works as expected.

Why the behavior is alternated in videos, where the first 2 videos have a few thousand views, while original with 16 Million is somehow not on the first place!?

I'm not event talking when I change Video sorting to "Views" the results are beyond broken, with some videos at the top that clearly do not belong to the search term and do not have enough views.
