Smoother search in Youtube...
This chrome extension helps you have a smoother search experience on Youtube. Lets say, you are watching a video on Youtube, and want to see videos related to some other subject/query. Using the default search on Youtube redirects you to a different page containing the search results, thus affecting your viewing experience.
This chrome extension facilitates a better search experience, by displaying the top 25 results for a query on the same page, without affecting the current running video.
- Install the extension as explained below.
- Whenever you load a page on www.youtube.com, a new button is loaded to the immediate right of the search input box.
- Enter your query in the search input box, and then click on this new button (or press tab and then enter) instead of the default search button.
- The results are displayed in the same page.
- The ">>" button towards the far right end of the search division can be clicked to get the next couple of results.
- Similarly "<<" button towards the far left end of the search division can be clicked to get the previous results.
- Note that enter key is not supported by this extension. i.e. clicking enter will load results in a different page.
- Given below are sample screenshots of the new search experience.
