Show HN: Search Bar for YouTube Transcripts

Hi HN!

Using Ctrl+F on YouTube Transcripts doesn't have the best UI/UX, so I built a chrome extension to inject a input search box that filters for any queries.

YouTube actually has this feature for a few videos (ex: https://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAHbLRjF0vo) for years now. I'm not sure why they haven't rolled it out for all videos. I didn't want to wait.

The extension will only inject it's own search box if the video does not already have one on YouTube. I tried styling it to look similar to YouTube's design.

Indexing and querying rules follow the newest Lunr.js rules.
