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!
