Feature description

It would be great to have an option, when doing a research, to filter out Shorts. Hide them altogether.

Why do you want this feature?

Shorts are very popular nowadays, and easy to make. It results in mass posting. Some channel uploads more than one short per hour, everyday, on the same hashtags. It leads to search result "databombing"/flooding. When you search for something that happens to be a popular Shorts topic, regular video can be extremely hard to find. If I'm actively looking for content, I'm expecting content, not minute bites. It's a plague Youtube refuses to avoid because it's lucrative, but at least Youtube allows to filter videos by length, above 4 minutes.

Additional information

Shorts appear differently in results. They have a different preview format. So, they're already identified as such. It would be easy to map them out on fetch.
