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.

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.
