Hello,
This is very good, but downloading a video of 1.9 GB is totally out of

FYI, most Internet connection scheme in India give a maximum of 5 GB monthly.
So a smaller version would be much appreciated.

Hello,
To me, this shows that the search engine is badly configured, or has a
major problem.
So fix it instead of creating a filter, which would have unwanted side effects.
Having a good search engine would be within the WMF mission,
creating a filter is not.
