Is there anyway to find watch history of years ago (5-6 years)
activity.google.com saves YT watch history. However, the default save time is 3 years. Anything past the three years will be gone unless you've already changed the setting. More on reddit.com

MyActivity Youtube History search only shows results for search history
Unfortunately YouTube history no longer allows you to filter between watched and searched. It's now all lumped together. If you're using a browser, you can navigate to YouTube History , then use your browser's "find in page" option to search for either "Searched for" or "Watched", to step through each term you searched for on YouTube, or video you watched. If you want it to go back further, you have to page down to manually update the list. It used to be a lot easier and organized than this. There was a drop down menu to filter by watched, searched for or comment history, but that drop menu has been removed. If you want to view your YouTube Comments , that is in a different place altogether. It used to all be organized in the same place. More on reddit.com

Is there any way to view my YouTube search history without also seeing watch history?
If you go into search on either the mobile app or on a TV, it does show the past searches you have made. I watch on a Roku TV and the searches I have on there show up on the search in the mobile app. As far as on the computer, I don't really use YouTube there so I dunno about that. More on reddit.com

r/youtube on Reddit: Is there any way to view my YouTube search history without also seeing watch history?
April 21, 2023 -

So to view your YouTube search history you have to go to your Google account's activites but for some stupid reason, watch history and search history are clumped together and you can't filter it to show only one of them. WHY?! I remember a while back on YouTube you could view your entire search history right in YouTube's history section without having to go to Google's activities website. I understand that they probably changed it because they added a ton of other activity history options and it's easier to organize it all in another page but I don't understand how they have a ton of your YouTube activity history with stuff like purchase history, gift history yet they don't even allow you to view your search history in just one section. I just want to see my old YouTube searches and it's really hard to do that cause I have to sift through all the videos too!

What I don't understand is why no one is complaining about this. Does no one care about the searches they make? Sometimes I search for something just to save it and come back to it later so it's a useful tool for me to save stuff for later that doesn't involve specific videos or playlists.

I searched online for other people who have this same issue and if I could potentially find a solution for this but I found nothing which is very strange to me.
