   #ShowerThoughts it just occurred to me that video search on a PeerTube site could have a number of scope options, like local, community, global, meta.

     * Local: search only this PeerTube site

     * Community: search all PeerTube sites approved by this one

     * Global: search the whole PeerTube network (with a warning: higher risk of finding porn, fake news etc)

     * Meta: includes attempts to search any other video site not part of the PT network ( eg YT, Vimeo), with priority placed on supporting other free code video hosting software like MediaGoblin, Plumi etc Could be maintained as a plug-in that PT admins could choose whether to use or not

     I think it would also be really good if the PeerTube UI made it clear to users whether a video is hosted locally on the PT instance the user finds it on, or elsewhere. That way if a PT instance decided to include an Individious/ CloudTube style plugin for video meta-search, the same UI elements could be used to indicate where each video in the search results is hosted.
