Tell HN: Search a YouTube video's title on Google to get chapters

Some YouTube videos have helpful "timestamps with descriptions" to help navigate the segments of the video, which are called "chapters".

Not all authors go through that effort, though. When a video does not contain "chapters"/"timestamps with descriptions", you can quickly copy the video title, then search for that on Google's search engine, and it will likely return an "automatically chaptered" video.

Example:

This video of Richard Feynman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36GT2zI8lVA does not contain "chapters".

However, this search query, simply copy pasting the title, returns one with "chapters", labeled as "key moments":

https://www.google.com/search?q=Richard+Feynman.+Why.&oq=Richard+Feynman.+Why.
