Two years ago a made a short film I was very proud of. At that time it was not aloud on youtube because of the Music (stairways to heaven). I posted on my FB site and it was shared many times and now it has more than 12000 wievs on FB. I managed now to post it on youtube as long as I agreed that it have commercial connected to it. My question is why is it so hard to find? If you surch on my channel (Sturla Mysen) it want show up directly, you have to click on my name and then it shows up. If I search after it without entering my channel, you are not able to find. I have used all the relevant tags I could think of. And if thats not enough, why can I not find it on mobile Devices??

Are you talking about "Imperial Haute Route" video? Add more tags, add in tags your channel name Sturla Mysen, as well as some other related tags. It is hard to find it because your video is 1year old and has 77views so youtube algorithm will not push it to the up. Maybe you should delete it and re-upload it again. But this time make sure to advertise it to some other social platforms (fb and others) and then it will rank better when it is new and has some decent amount of views (more than 300)

1. Start by using the tools available directly through YouTube. For example, provide a detailed and accurate title and description to each of your videos, and associate tags (keywords) that are directly relevant.
2. Use a call to action within your videos to encourage people to like, rate, comment on and share your videos.
3. Begin by promoting your videos to the people you know, including your real-life friends, relatives, customers and clients. Ask these people to watch your video(s) and share them with their online friends.
4. Take advantage of the power and capabilities of the online social networking sites to promote your videos. As a spokesperson for your company, for example, become active on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, as well as other relevant services. Be sure to create an online presence for your business on Facebook and/or Google+, and then use that presence to promote your videos.
5. Incorporate your videos into your own company’s website and blog.
6. Share links to your videos with your existing customers or clients via opt-in email.
7. Use public relations techniques, such as using press releases to contact bloggers, editors, reporters and producers in order to generate free media coverage for your videos in mainstream media, as well as in blogs that cater to your target audience.
Ok, God Bless you

Also you may have tagged it, but are your tags also used in your title/description? I used to never do this and when i started I found my videos getting a lot more views.
Example: I tag Mastiff (my dog just entered the room when i was searching for a random word lol)
My title may be:Meet My Mastiff
Description: Hey everyone, this is my mastiff Zeus. He is my first ever mastiff, through him I've learned a lot about the mastiff breed like how sweet and gentle they are. If you own a mastiff you know they're gentle giants.
Now I've used my tag in my title, and 4 times in my description. Now when someone searches "Mastiff" my video will be more likely to show up because of the relevance to the topic.
