ILMV Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 You mean like Google Suggest? http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=132312&cid=11053245 Read this^, obviously the use of JavaScript and a hidden div may be required. Google Suggest doesn't run a search whenever a user types something in, it is more likely they are interrogating a pre-populated list of popular searches. Just adapt this for YouTube searches, for example, I expect RickRoll will be at the top ILMV Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/131590-solved-youtube-search/#findComment-683521 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 You could try to see if you can query the same API that they use themselves. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/131590-solved-youtube-search/#findComment-685188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
