AI Video Summaries in Archivarix Tube Search
When you find a deleted YouTube video through Tube Search, you typically get metadata: a title, description, upload date, and sometimes subtitles. That is already useful. But reading through raw subtitles to understand what a video was about takes time, especially for longer recordings.
We have added AI-powered video summaries to Tube Search. If a video has archived subtitles, the system can now generate a structured summary of its content in seconds.

Archivarix Tube Search - a Search Engine for Deleted YouTube Videos
Tube Search is a search engine for archived YouTube data. The service aggregates information from multiple public sources: the Wayback Machine (Internet Archive), Common Crawl, and various collected YouTube metadata datasets. When a video is deleted from YouTube, its page ceases to exist. But if a web archive managed to index that page before deletion, the video metadata is preserved: title, description, upload date, view count, thumbnails, subtitles.

How the Internet Archive Decides What to Archive: Priorities, Frequency, and Data Sources
One trillion saved pages. Over 99 petabytes of data. Hundreds of crawls running simultaneously every day. Behind these numbers lies a question that everyone who professionally works with web archives asks themselves: how exactly does the Wayback Machine decide which sites to scan, how often to return to them, and why are some domains represented in the archive with thousands of snapshots while others have only a few records over ten years?
Understanding these mechanisms is critically important for anyone involved in website restoration. If you know how the system works from the inside, you can predict what you'll find in the archive and what won't be there. And you can influence the archiving of your own sites while they're still live.

Common Crawl as an Alternative Data Source for Website Restoration
When it comes to restoring websites from archives, almost everyone thinks only of the Wayback Machine. That's understandable: archive.org is well known, it has a convenient interface, a trillion saved pages. But the Wayback Machine is not the only major web archive in the world. There is a project that is comparable in the volume of collected data to the Internet Archive, and in some respects even surpasses it. This project is called Common Crawl, and surprisingly few people know about it, even among those who work professionally with web archives.
