Not sure what section to post this, so sorry if this is out of place, already tried to get help in google with no luck. Some guy said I was part of an experiment but I doubt that.

When searching anything, the "videos" filter is not there anymore, it used to be next to images. If I log out of my account or use another, it works fine. This only happens with a particular user, so any help is welcome.
This is NOT a browser problem, as it happens in all browsers, Edge, Chrome and Firefox.
it is a problem with specific account and I already tried changing and deleting every imaginable setting on that Google account.

In your Chrome settings do you have "History search, powered by AI" turned ON? Perhaps turning that off would help. Or you could simply delete that user profile and create a new one. Or you could use the Reset Settings option in that profile's Settings.
 
I don't use chrome, and I wont delete my main account that I use for everything. It is not a problem with the browser as Firefox, Edge and Chrome all display the same problem. I already tried changing every setting imaginable in google settings. Some people have suggested that it may be some kind of experiment that google is doing, but I don't have any idea whether or not this is the case.

Also found that post a few days ago but the explanation makes no sense to me, pressing the tools button under search box all I get is 3 new filters that say any time, all results, adv search but I cant add or remove any filters like the post suggests. Here is a picture.

Sorry if this sounds rude but if you are trying to help please take 10 seconds to read what I wrote at least. Like I said in my post, logging out or using another google account works fine, I only have this problem in my main account that have been using for years.
 
You know Google and others follow your activities for various reasons?
Not sure why, but I have a feeling that Google algorithm removed the video tab from your account searches.
 
Some guy is answering everyone that complains in google forums that this is a "google live experiment". I asked him if this was his assumption or if he works in google and knows this for a fact and never got an answer. At least I have seen more people complaining about it now.
