Instantly search inside any YouTube™ playlist.
To use, simply click the extension when on a playlist or a video inside a playlist and the extension will list ALL videos inside the playlist. You may then instantly search for and click any video in the list to go to it.
This extension requires you to login so that the extension can make authorized API calls to the YouTube™ Data API for all of your playlists. This means that it will work on both public and private playlists.

- (2023-09-29) Samy: Works fine
- (2023-08-22) Viviano: Having to install an extension for this is a great shame for Youtube. Something so basic and fundamental should be native. About the extension: works like should be.
- (2023-07-29) Mister U.: Had hoped that I could search a 1200 track long playlist. Has actually worked on the first go. Many thanks to the developer
- (2023-07-22) Joey Moody: It works PERFECTLY FINE if you actually follow the directions. The only thing WRONG / that could be improved is that there's literally no way to open multiple videos at once from the search, and if you click ANYWHERE on the page, even opening a search result in a new tab, it makes the entire search window go away. This makes it extremely cumbersome if you're trying to say, search a playlist for multiple videos on the same subject, or to clean out old junk from a playlist. ALSO- I have a weird "linked account" situation where my OG youtube account from long before you ever had to have an email account is linked to my normal gmail/google account, and I have to log into the extension with my gmail account to make it work for the OG account. If I log in with the OG username it does nothing. If this extension isn't working for you, and you're using an oldschool youtube account, that's probably your issue.
- (2023-06-05) Voujum: I might be lucky. It worked for me
- (2023-06-05) Yeetus Deletus: it worked for me
- (2023-05-30) Ghislayne: Does not work
- (2023-05-20) Name Surname: Works for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- (2023-05-14) wfe dfeewd: This extension simply is out of date and does not work, update it or remove it entirely.
- (2023-05-04) Apekiller: Search bar shows up but returns results which have nothing to do what what i searched for.
- (2023-04-28) Ahmet: https://github.com/hallzy/youtube-playlist-search as explained here, api key of the extension is no longer valid. only way to make this code work again is to follow instructions related to generating individual api keys for test purposes and use the extension for private purposes as many asked before i'm asking again, why the hell youtube is still not enabling search within playlists ! people gahter invaluable information through videos saved into playlist and many times you need to get back to that specific videos again and again, please youtube add native content search feature including playlists created by the users for themselves.
- (2023-04-11) Steven Wexler: No longer a supported plugin. Didn't work. I hate independent software developers who act in a unresponsible way, and waste our time. They knew their extension didn't work, but rather than providing appropriate specs and communicate to their customers/audeince, they just became bored and moved on to their next project. A two second post saying, "This plugin will only work with X version of Chrome and X version of the operating, they just waste people's time testing a product they no longer support. It's just not a socially responsible choice.
- (2023-03-28) ASUNDER: Worked for me so far. Wish instead of jumping to the video, it would just highlight the result/s in the existing list. Why the hell doesn't YouTube have playlist search anyway?
- (2023-02-28) Guy: As of 2022/23, no longer works. Fix it, or remove the extension.
- (2023-02-16) Alvaro Morales: Broken
- (2022-12-16) Granville Parham: Reading here, you'll find some claim this works and some claim it doesn't. Either way, it's not been updated in years. It was designed for a much older version of Youtube, and not having new updates makes it a security hazard. Even if it does work for some, it would be unwise to continue using this extension.
- (2022-10-27) Callum Wood: Doesn't work, "Invalid playlist" on any public playlist I test it on, regardless of video count. If there is something that needs to be done to get it working beyond adding to Edge and clicking the extension button while viewing a playlist, please document it as many users are having this issue. Will change to a positive review if this is resolved.
- (2022-10-26) Stella By Starlight: Works!
- (2022-10-15) Cruddiest Tooth: Works
- (2022-10-15) REACTING X: doesnt work
- (2022-10-02) Amir R: Doesn't work
- (2022-09-10) Vinayak : Works if you follow the simple instructions on the extension's home page. It needs to log in to your Youtube account to be able to access your playlists using the Youtube Data API (read-only and happens locally in your browser). It won't work on "Watch Later" or "History" playlists and that's a Youtube limitation. RTFM people!
- (2022-09-06) Hart Epstein: Doesn't work. Just says "invalid playlist."
- (2022-09-03) Stelic: doesn't work
- (2022-09-03) Young Dez: What I've been looking for. Useful and working
- (2022-08-31) Google User: "Invalid playlist"
- (2022-07-30) Hussain: Dont know if theres anything better Wish it didnt close after i click open in new tab (or click mouse wheel) so i can open multiple videos Also it only searches the title, you cant search the tags of all the videos, but you should be able to search the channel name at least Eg "Jeff" and all his videos come up
- (2022-06-23) Dick Butt: Looks like Google is blocking this extension now, I get this message when trying to log into YouTube through the extension. This app is blocked This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access. I'm still giving 4 stars because the app seems well-designed and provides a functionality that it's ridiculous Google doesn't already have. Google broke it for god knows what reason, they've become Microsoft.
- (2022-06-18) blue: You have to sign in to use this extension. I cannot understand why this simple extension needs my account info.
- (2022-05-30) PCJ52: I keep getting "invalid playlist" error. Can't use it.
- (2022-05-26) Kaan Osmanagaoglu: It DOESN'T EVEN LOAD more than a few hundred songs !! I have a playlist of 3900 songs and videos, it doesn't even make it beyond 200-300 ! This is a complete scam ! You lied to us !!
- (2022-05-23) Kevin: It's really good but I really miss a feature. It would be cool to be able to search based on the name of the uploader too. Also would be useful to display the name of the uploader maybe in brackets in the end. Regex search would be really cool too but that's not that important, however searching by uploaders would be a really really useful feature.
- (2022-05-22) blucat 4: Doesn't work, says 'Invalid Playlist'. I tried multiple playlists, and tried making unavailable videos unhidden. Windows 10, Google Chrome, May 23 2022.
- (2022-04-05) D D'a: Only works for the latest google accounts. Doesn't recognize my old youtube account playlists... I'm guessing it never will cause of old code?
- (2022-03-23) Kiel Anderson: Absolute game changer. Thank you.
- (2022-03-19) Clay Nichols: Error: will no load due to "privacy concerns" according to chrome browser
- (2022-03-15) Connor Baldczus: I don't know what the issue is but all it ever does is tell me to login. That's fine, since it was also stated in the description but after I do login and want to view a playlist, all it does is open a tab to LOGIN AGAIN. So basically it's "Login into Google Simulator" right now.
- (2022-02-09) The Non Smoker: Not working, saying "Invalid playlist."
- (2022-02-05) dj: Simple but immensely useful.
- (2022-02-04) Галина Синцова: вообще не работает февраль 2022. запрашивает доступ и ...... ничего
- (2022-01-20) Yeah That's Me: Was great when worked (until december last year), but lacked some quality of life things like opening links in a new tab without opening them in the tab with the playlist. But as of 20.01.2022 it still doesn't work, prompting invalid playlist each time I attempt to use it.
- (2021-12-31) Jon Fisher: Exactly what I wanted. Thanks! EDIT: No longer works. At all. Won't even prompt for the search box.
- (2021-12-29) P R: "Invalid Playlist" after logging in and allowing permissions.

- (2021-11-19) jojo: good and fast i thought it would take a while to search a big playlist but it didnt
- (2021-11-02) Cameron Celardo: I can't figure out how to make the page smaller, when I click on the extension and it wants me to log in.
