How to Search Within Your YouTube Liked Videos
Search titles, channels, and IDs in a local YouTube likes archive. If likes from years ago vanished from the playlist, pair this with the 5,000 limit and find old likes guides.
1. Build an archive
Create a focused Takeout export containing My Activity → YouTube (and playlists if you want Liked videos.csv). Follow Takeout steps.
2. Search locally
Import the file into LikesR and enter a title, channel, or 11-character video ID. Filter beyond the newest 5,000 when hunting older likes.
3. Keep a portable copy
Export an offline searchable HTML file, or follow export YouTube liked videos to CSV for an Excel- or Sheets-ready spreadsheet of the current view.
