Playlist Search for Youtube™

A chrome extension that allows you to instantly search for videos inside any playlist.

What is this?

Youtube™ currently has no way to quickly search large playlists for videos. This tool is a chrome extension that allows you to instantly search for videos inside any playlist.

How do I use it?

  1. Install the extension through the Chrome Web Store by clicking here.
  2. Navigate to a Youtube™ playlist page, or a video in a playlist.
  3. Press the extension icon.
  4. If this is your first time using the extension, you will be asked to login.
  5. After logging in, the extension will begin loading your playlist.
  6. Type the title of the video your looking for into the search box, and all of the matches loaded so far will appear instantly.
  7. Click the video you want to go to.

Privacy policy

This extension only communicates with the Youtube™ Data API, and it does so directly from your browser. As a result, all data associated with the application is stored either on your browser or on the servers that YouTube™ uses to provide its services. To understand how Youtube™ and Google™ use your data, please see their privacy policy.

  • Why do I need to login?

    This extension requires you to login so that the extension can make authorized read-only API calls to the Youtube™ Data API for all of your playlists. This is what allows it to work on even your private playlists.

Known limitations

  • • Youtube™ does not allow developers to access your "Watch Later" your "History" playlists, so this extension will not work on those playlists.
