| 2024-11-01 |  | | en | Just installed and tested. It amazingly works with both german and english words (maybe more?), shows a portion of the text with timestamps that can be clicked on and the little button at the top left corner of the video is nicely subtle, so i'd say it's perfect in every aspect so far. Thank you for this amazing extension! |

| 2024-03-30 |  | | en | "YCS - YouTube Comment Search", an once amazing extension, stopped working & being updated so I needed a substitute, and this one serves as a good one for the transcripts/captions side of things for now. It's only problem so far is prioritization. If you are watching a video that has both closed captions provided by the video uploader AND auto-generated closed captions, it will ONLY search the close captions provided by the video uploader and NOT the auto-generated ones. This can present a problem if the closed captions provided by the uploader has errors or different words from the auto-generated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUIyMdqPGZQ In this example, the official Closed Captions by the uploader fails to subtitle 4:34 - 4:53. Therefore, if you were to search the word "wrong", it will not show up at all in the search, even though the auto-generated closed captions has it. Be mindful when using searches! |
