> Anyone have a better solution

Since youtube api won't help with this someone needs to build a video index and a good search algorithm on top. Would be nice to be able to search through indexed subtitles too.

I don't even want an "algorihtm" per se. Just search, show results and a download or paly. That's it.

By algorithm I mean a scoring function to tell which video is relevant to the search.

Freetube but if you want HD you have to separate out the video and audio downloads then combine them after. A little annoying but it does have download right there in the client

freetube removed the download feature a while ago. see my other comment above on how i use freetube to download videos.
