I've had ctrl+f work for searching within the transcript on the page recently. I assumed it wouldn't due to lazy loading, but was surprised because the video I tried it on was quite long.

filmot.com exists too (found it on here, currently can't get past the cloudflare captcha to double check), but I have no idea how much of youtube's transcripts it has archived.

That was previously the case for me, none of the results outside of the current view would show up.

I just went to try, and I noticed that you can actually search in a transcript now!? There's a search bar
