Important YouTube tweak that I learned from Jason Moffat. http://www.ProfitMoffat.com
By default YouTube adds a search bar to your videos when you mouse over the top of the embedded video.Now the last thing I want is for people to leave my page after viewing my video, so I assume that you’re the same. Here’s what you do:
Grab your embed code:
<object width=”425″ height=”344″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/U7OPY9Xr1GM&hl=en&fs=1″></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/U7OPY9Xr1GM&hl=en&fs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”344″></embed></object>
This is how it looks with the search bar
Then you need to add this code:
&showsearch=0
Where I’ve added it before the end quote
<object width=”425″ height=”344″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/U7OPY9Xr1GM&hl=en&fs=1&showsearch=0“></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/U7OPY9Xr1GM&hl=en&fs=1&showsearch=0” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”344″></embed></object>
And you will get it without the search bar

It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place
