i am having difficulty to discover how the operator AND function for a research with Youtube API.
At the Youtube.Search i found the method setQ that explaing the logic for the operator NOT and OR but not for the operator AND.
The main idea is to make a search that contains exactly both 2 parameters otherelse i can use the OR logic.
Example: i want that 2 "fish" and "sea" should be both part of the metadata of the research.
I have made an analysis on front-end call and it has this form:
fish+sea but if i try to implement it in java it looks that it doesn't function correctly cause i have other results.
PS: I have ordered all my results by relevance ( by setting the order with "relevance" value as the logic that youtube itself use)
For this reason i was wating to have the same result on youtube website and in my local app.
I tested some request using the Google Data API Explorer and I found that the word "AND" (uppercase) it will bring you slightly different results:
For example, the following request is for search videos using the query "The ring" (without double quotes) - it will bring the top 10 search results from the US region:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&maxResults=10&q=The+ring®ionCode=US&type=video&fields=items(id(channelId%2Ckind%2CvideoId)%2Csnippet(channelTitle%2Ctitle))%2CnextPageToken%2CpageInfo%2CprevPageToken%2CregionCode%2CtokenPagination&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
These are the results:

Here is the demo of the previous request.
Making a test with these modifications:
- Double quote the searchs terms - (i.e.
"the"
, "ring"
).
- Adding the "AND" operator (without double quotes).
I can now test the modified version of the previous request:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&maxResults=10&q=%22The%22+AND+%22ring%22®ionCode=US&type=video&fields=items(id(channelId%2Ckind%2CvideoId)%2Csnippet(channelTitle%2Ctitle))%2CnextPageToken%2CpageInfo%2CprevPageToken%2CregionCode%2CtokenPagination&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
And its results:

"nextPageToken": "CAoQAA",
"regionCode": "US",
"pageInfo": {
"totalResults": 1000000,
"resultsPerPage": 10
},

Here is the demo of the previous request.
If you compare the two results, you'll see that (using the AND operator) does not contain these search results:
N.B: I highlighted the search terms:
- scary movie 3 brenda vs the ring lol
- RINGS behind the scenes
- Rings (2017) - TV Store Prank
Instead, the new results are:
- Cardi B - Ring (feat. Kehlani) [Official Video]
- Samara Sings A Song (The Ring Scary Halloween Parody)
- Rings | Trailer #1 | Paramount Pictures International
I think there is no much variation in the results after all.
