Actually sorry, the commas don’t work, but the quotes do.

The quotes and commas seem to work perfectly when I use your widget, just not the shortcode.

The commas do not perform the filtering that they do when entered directly on Youtube is what I’m saying. On Youtube, they call the secondary Filters as if you performed the search and then clicked FILTER and made some selections from the columns UPLOAD DATE, TYPE, DURATION, and FEATURES.

But when using commas with your shortcode, for example:

[youtube search=yes]gordon ramsay, today[/youtube]

It sends the word “today” as a search term, so it results in his appearances on the Today show, or put out by the channel called Today. In other words, it doesn’t filter by Upload Date. I’m just giving you this info so when you get around to working on your code, you will have all the necessary data to try to provide full functionality. Being able to call those filters from your short code, in addition to using quotes and the “intitle:” term, would make your plugin exponentially more powerful and more awesome!

Thanks!

When you write a fix, there are also other search operators like commas:

Gordon Ramsay Salmon, month, HD

That will give all HD videos in the last month.

Or

Presidential Debate, live
Kevin Hart, film
Wall Street Journal, channel
Joe Rogan, long

Here are some articles:

I’m not having any luck. Try this:

[youtube search=yes]baked salmon gordon ramsay[/youtube]

[youtube search=yes]”baked salmon” “gordon ramsay”[/youtube]

[youtube search=yes]intitle:”baked salmon” intitle:”gordon ramsay”[/youtube]

The 2nd and 3rd produce no results, even though entering them into youtube directly produces results.

Awesome, I’ve played around with it. Is it correct that it doesn’t support normal youtube search operators like intitle:, quotation marks, and commas?

Quotes can be used to require a search phrase be present. Commas can let you specify filters after the search, like with regard to upload date, to only show videos from the recent week or month for example.

Or is your search code essentially putting quotes around the entire phrase inside?

Is there a parameter for Playlist and User ID also?

You’re awesome!
