Stop YouTube search with a button

[J.M. Hardin]

Binary package hint: totem

I've taken to using Totem's YouTube plugin to watch videos rather than having to deal with a lot of stuttering in Flash, but the video I'm looking for is usually (90% of the time) the first result returned. The problem is that even though I can add it to my playlist once it comes up there's no way to tell Totem to stop searching.

Can we get a button to stop the active search once we see the video we're looking for?

Thanks for your report, that's something to send directly upstream at http://bugzilla.gnome.org by someone interested on the feature, for forwarding instructions please read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME, Thanks in advance.
