update: it only does this when I search for one word

I have the same issue but it is not consistent. It doesn't seem to be related to the number of words in the search phrase.

However, the actual error is clear when you scroll up.

[nawar]

Same here. Can we get a fix. I've been having this for months.

Technically, this is not an issue with yewtube itself. The issue like I point to in my earlier comment is with the youtubesearchpython package is abandoned since June 2022. I wasn't able to find an alternative to this. If anyone knows of another package that could perform the same function, I'd be happy to test it out and make PR.

#1324 Maybe this is related?

I made a PR here to replace the youtube-search-python package. I tested it, and it works great.

#1340

@iamtalhaasghar / @JodanJodan please approve.
