When you google, you can type in -youtube to exclude youtube searches, which is what I usually do.
For example,
vista north of mistfire vale -youtube
Also, I agree with the OP. Videos generally take longer to tell you the solution to a problem that can often be explained with a sentence or two, possibly with an image. It’s also harder to search videos (they have to have descriptive and accurate titles/tags). The link that Callidus posted is done in the “you probably only need a couple sentences and a map” spirit, which I like a lot more.
