An extension for searching for words in YouTube videos
YouTube Word Searcher Extension
A button will appear above YouTube videos, and if you click it, you will get access to a search input.
There is an autosearch feature that enables you to set words to be searched on every page, which if found will trigger the extension to notify you (by changing the YWS button to green).
NOTE: The button is hidden in cinema mode. There is no room for it, and so it just hides.
New in version 2.0: Non english videos are now supported.
