+# Search Feature Demo
+
+The search functionality has been successfully added to yt-dlp-mcp! This feature allows you to search for videos on YouTube using keywords and get formatted results with video information.
+
+## New Tool: `search_videos`
+
+### Description
+Search for videos on YouTube using keywords. Returns title, uploader, duration, and URL for each result.
+
+### Parameters
+- `query` (string, required): Search keywords or phrase
+- `maxResults` (number, optional): Maximum number of results to return (1-50, default: 10)
+
+### Example Usage
+
+Ask your LLM to:
+```
+"Search for Python tutorial videos"
+"Find JavaScript courses and show me the top 5 results"
+"Search for machine learning tutorials with 15 results"
+```
+
+### Example Output
+
+When searching for "javascript tutorial" with 3 results, you'll get:
+
+```
+Found 3 videos:
+
+1. **JavaScript Tutorial Full Course - Beginner to Pro**
+   📺 Channel: Traversy Media
+   ⏱️  Duration: 15663
+   🔗 URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EerdGm-ehJQ
+   🆔 ID: EerdGm-ehJQ
+
+2. **JavaScript Course for Beginners**
+   📺 Channel: FreeCodeCamp.org
+   ⏱️  Duration: 12402
+   🔗 URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6NZfCO5SIk
+   🆔 ID: W6NZfCO5SIk
+
+3. **JavaScript Full Course for free 🌐 (2024)**
+   📺 Channel: Bro Code
+   ⏱️  Duration: 43200
+   🔗 URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfmg-EJ8gm4
+   🆔 ID: lfmg-EJ8gm4
+
+💡 You can use any URL to download videos, audio, or subtitles!
+```
+
+## Integration with Existing Features
+
+After searching for videos, you can directly use the returned URLs with other tools:
+
+1. **Download video**: Use the URL with `download_video`
+2. **Download audio**: Use the URL with `download_audio`
+3. **Get subtitles**: Use the URL with `list_subtitle_languages` or `download_video_subtitles`
+4. **Get transcript**: Use the URL with `download_transcript`
+
+## Test Results
+
+All search functionality tests pass:
+- ✅ Successfully search and format results
+- ✅ Reject empty search queries
+- ✅ Validate maxResults parameter range
+- ✅ Handle search with different result counts
+- ✅ Return properly formatted results
+- ✅ Handle obscure search terms gracefully
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+The search feature uses yt-dlp's built-in search capability with the syntax:
+- `ytsearch[N]:[query]` where N is the number of results
+- Uses `--print` options to extract: title, id, uploader, duration
+- Results are formatted in a user-friendly way with emojis and clear structure
+
+This addresses the feature request from [Issue #14](https://github.com/kevinwatt/yt-dlp-mcp/issues/14) and provides a seamless search experience for users.
