Tips & Warnings
Using
Google (or any other traditional search engine) will provide results
from any web page that has the search term and "video tutorial". The
same search can be conducted on video sharing sites such as YouTube in
order to speed up the search process.
There
may not always be video tutorials on the subject being searched for,
however, removing the word "video" will provide results with written
tutorials that may suffice.
