minor changes have been made in youtube's site, so here is an update

Code:
; youtube video search
; returns the first search result for your search terms

; usage for you
;
; trigger: /yt
; syntax: /yt <search terms>
; example: /yt charleston daft punk

; usage for other people
;
; triggers: !youtube @youtube !tube @tube
; syntax: @youtube <search terms>
; example: !tube charleston daft punk


; if you want to sort search by VIEW COUNT, use this line below
; sockwrite -nt $sockname GET /results?search_sort=video_view_count&search_query= $+ %searchstring
;
; if you want the regular search, use this line below
; sockwrite -nt $sockname GET /results?search_query= $+ %searchstring HTTP//1.1
;
; the place im referring to is: under the heading on *:sockopen:ytsearch:{

alias yt {
  %channel = $chan
  if (%channel) { %saystyle = echo -t %channel }
  else { %saystyle = echo -at }

  %searchstring = $replace($1-,$chr(32),+)
