HolmesHunt enhances YouTube search with natural language understanding. Instead of guessing exact titles or keywords, describe what you're looking for.

How it works:
• Toggle HolmesHunt ON to enhance all searches
• Describe videos naturally by: duration, date, topic, channel
• Results are semantically reranked to match your intent

Features:
• Natural language search ("find braised pork recipes uploaded this year")
• Filter out Shorts, filter by duration and upload date
• Search within specific channels or saved channel lists
• Bookmark channels and videos without subscribing
• Multilingual — search and find videos in 100+ languages
• Privacy-first: all AI/NLP runs locally, no data leaves your device

Optional: A free YouTube Data API key unlocks full search. Setup takes ~2 minutes via Google Cloud Console.
