That's cool, but there is also Firefox extensions that does something similar. There's one for searching comments, and one for searching caption.

ahh never really looked cause i built my original one in 2019 off of Deepspeech haha just updated it for fun mostly. I know youtube captions themselves are good, but one thing on his code would be that not all videos have captions. Since mine actually downloads the audio and runs it, it would still have values on those older videos that never got captions
Ctrl-F across all of youtube: https://www.askyoutube.ai
https://www.youglish.com is also a sort of search engine for YouTube captions, though mostly aimed at short phrases.
I searched for my YouTube username and then for the exact title of one video I posted and it didn't find either one.... instead it said the title of my video was not true because it didn't interpret it correctly (but it didn't link to the video).
I'll look into it, could you send the request to askutubeai@gmail.com?
not sure what else you need.... don't you keep logs?
Your request wasn't logged. This can happen sometimes if the request wasn't completed.
