Search for YouTube Player - Add Search Functionality to YouTube Videos with Closed Captions
Search for YouTube Player is a Chrome extension developed by jared.schwalbe. It is a free program that falls under the Browsers category, specifically the Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This extension adds a search button to the YouTube video player, allowing users to search the transcript of videos with closed captions and navigate to each timestamp where their query is spoken.
With Search for YouTube Player, users can easily find specific clips or information within a YouTube video. Whether you're looking for a particular clip in a lengthy podcast or trying to skip to a specific part of a lecture, this extension has got you covered. It strives to feel like a native feature of YouTube, seamlessly integrating into the video player.
While the extension does not seek to the exact moment your query is spoken, it seeks to the timestamp where the caption would appear on screen. To navigate through the video, you can use the ENTER key to seek to the next occurrence and the LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys to cycle between previous and next timestamps.
It's important to note that Search for YouTube Player is limited to videos with closed captions enabled. Additionally, it only works on youtube.com and will not function on embedded videos. After installing the extension, make sure to refresh any tabs that are running YouTube to activate the search functionality.
Overall, Search for YouTube Player is a useful tool for anyone who wants to search for specific content within YouTube videos that have closed captions. Its integration with the YouTube video player and seamless navigation make it a valuable addition for those who heavily rely on closed captions for accessibility or content exploration purposes.
