I am looking for videos on tik tok instagram and facebook that are aged 1-4 years but of recent that big 3 will not show them. Does anyone know of a advanced query to find them?

Have you tried using Google search operators with platform-specific filters? You could also search by date range to narrow down older videos that aren't appearing in recent feeds.

Finding old videos shouldn't feel like searching for buried treasure . Have you tried Google advanced search with specific platform filters? I'm curious if it can dig up videos from a few years ago. Anyone had luck with this?

try Google search with date filters and site searches like site:tiktok.com or site:instagram.com. you can also search specific keywords with older date ranges. sometimes Google finds videos that get buried in the apps' own search results.

By using the right filters and dragging the timeline slider, finding the videos you're looking for isn't difficult at all. Try Google's tools.
