Video Search Pop N Code is a plugin I made which allows you to:
- search for videos within your wordpress editor using Google Ajax Search
- watch the video within your wordpress editor
- get the embed code and paste it into your post
- format your post properly
Video Search Pop N Code will then make sure the video code works when viewers read your post.
Requirements:
- Wordpress 2.5 and up (may work on older versions but untested)
- Get a Google Search API key.
Features (Click Images to Enlarge)
A Google Ajax Video Search Control is embedded into your Wordpress editor which allows you to search for videos without refreshing your editor page.
A selection of videos are presented. When you click on an image the video will pop up and play without refreshing your editor.
You can see what the video pop up looks like here:
When you click on a video changes in the pop up on the fly.
When you see a video you like, copy the code.
Click on “Done Watching” to close the pop up.
Paste the code into your Wordpress editor.
Video Search Pop N Code formats your video properly.
An admin section to place your Google Ajax Search Api and your video options.

Installation
- Copy the entire /video-search-pop-n-code/ into your wordpress plugins folder, normally located in /wp-content/plugins/ (Mu version coming soon)
- Login to Wordpress Admin and activate the plugin
- Click on settings then click on the link in the menu which says ‘VideoSearchPopNCode
- Using the link provided on the admin page sign up for a Google Search API key.
- Place the Google API Key into your API field and press Update
Embedding
As you watch a video within your editor you can see a bit of code to copy and paste. A wordpress player can be embedded in a post using a tag of the following
[youtube:URL]
e.g. [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb1_h9bguvI]
The URL is the url found on YouTube for a particular video.
You can also set the dimensions:
[youtube:URL WIDTH HEIGHT]
e.g. [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb1_h9bguvI 300 200]
Same tag format for Google Vidoes but with googlevideo instead of youtube
e.g. [googlevideo:URL]
You can also set global options such as size and border colors in the Video Search Pop N Code option menu.

hi. Thanks for plugin
perfect.

Hi!
This is such a cool plugin. Would be great if it could include some of the flv-embed plugin feature to make it more complete.. Anyhow there is one problem. Firefox always shows me this error while browsing through the admin pages:
parent has no properties
[Break on this error] GSvideoSearchControl.prototype.removeChildren=function(parent){while(parent.firs…
Hi Andy thanks for the comment, I am not seeing this error on my site which means you may be having javascript conflicts with other plugins, or another plugin is causing the error.
Hm, this ist weird. I sometimes get that prototype-error and sometimes not. I’ve deactivated all other plugins but still get the error i.e. on the “Manage”-site in the admin panel. The error never shows up on the normal blog site by the way, only in the admin area. It’s no big deal, I just wanted to let you know. I’m using the newest SVN 2.6 version of Wordpress and prototype 1.6.2. by the way..
I’m not running the latest svn 2.6. I’m actually running the latest stable MU Wordpress on this site which is 1.5.6.
I’ll try it out on ordinary wordpress when I get a chance.
Will this only work in Posts - can’t seem to get any video on Pages.

I have one embeded video, using your plugin’s syntax. But it doesn’t show anything.
Help?
