If it is, you\u2019ll be able to see some context and tap on the timecode to be taken directly to the moment where the phrase is said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GoogleIndia\/status\/1604739905321828353\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a screen recording tweeted by Google India<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 -tracking-1 leading-160 dark:text-white selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Being able to search through a video\u2019s auto or manually generated transcript isn\u2019t a brand-new feature \u2014 you\u2019ve been able to do it on desktop for quite a while, though it was a manual process that involved opening the video and transcript and then using your browser\u2019s search on page function. In October 2021, YouTube said it\u2019d start experimenting with letting people do the same in its mobile apps. While it has since rolled out the ability to <em>view<\/em> the transcript on iOS or Android, the ability to search through it isn\u2019t widely available. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure class=\"my-9 lg:mx-0\">\n<div class=\"duet--media--content-warning relative\" style=\"padding-top:100.50505050505049%\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0\"><noscript><img alt=\"Screenshot of a YouTube Course.\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/AzdRvp-zqmlJ2vlaAF4IY71iGr4=\/0x0:1584x1592\/1584x1592\/filters:focal(792x796:793x797)\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/24303365\/Screenshot_2022_12_19_at_12.05.26.png\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%;object-fit:cover\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/noscript><\/span><\/div>\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>Creators can charge for Courses or provide them for free.
