I want to use “new video by search” youtube zap. But im having troubles with the queries. Does it support operators like the source youtube api does?

Hey @dkampien, welcome to the Community! 🎉

I did some searching on this end but couldn’t find any documentation confirming the accepted search query operators. Looking at YouTube’s API documentation here though, I’d expect the Query field on the New Video by Search trigger to only support operators like NOT (-) and OR (|):

Are you wanting to trigger for certain types of videos from a specific channel?

If so, perhaps the New Video in Channel YouTube trigger might be better to use, alongside a filter that checks for certain keywords or phrases in the Title or Description fields. 

Hope that helps to get you pointed in the right direction. If you run into any issues or have further questions do let me know!
