Description
The script inserts a simple search box and button into YouTube's favourites page. From there you can search your favoured videos simply by entering your search query into the newly inserted search box.

The default search will bring up videos with any matching terms in their title. However selecting "Match all terms" will only bring up videos that have all search terms in their title.

Fixed: Forgot to remove debugging code that stopped the script from searching the array of movies. This also created other issues like if you were to search and the search again the second search would produce zero results.

Updated: Added a few comments and fixed up some left out semi-colons.

Added: Video cataloging/caching. Finally added a long awaited for function. The videos will be cataloged the first time and automatically every time new videos are added. Whenever you search, the catalog will be searched instead of loading all YouTube videos.
This greatly decreases the speed taken for each and every search. Still in beta. Please report all defects.
