These instructions are using the mobile app for Android or iOS. If you're using a web browser, the steps may be different.

You want to tap the "Discover" tab at the bottom of your screen and you'll see the search bar at the top. When you're watching videos on your For You page (FYP) or those you're following, you'll also see a magnifying glass on the top right corner of every video. But that's only if you're using the mobile app, as described in this article. If you're using a web browser or a mobile browser, "Discovery" is just a heading and will list clickable trending results. Click those to see more of that trending content.

See if you can download the app. If not, you'll need to use the web browser version.
