Suppose we have stored a YouTube link in our favorites or folder, without anything to identify what the link might have been, as the link at YouTube has now removed/unavailable after some unknown period of time.
Is there a (slim) chance a search bot will later detect any text associated with the vid to help identify what it was?
The method below may not be reliable if the youtube urls are re-used:
Tried separating two components of the link as such:
youtube identifier
and pasting them in a browser searchbox.
Was lucky in a particular instance with this removed link- only because it was directly siphoned off elsewhere (but still unusable). But most common browsers will remove matching text- the Deep Web may handle it differently.
