Looks like ‘search’ is still shown as an available list type on the iframe reference page.

I wonder if the URL changed?

I just found out that the url is not changed, but now these headers:

    'x-youtube-client-name': '56',
    'x-youtube-client-version': '20200911',

are required to make the search work, otherwise it will always return an error 404. (However it still needs some tries to go through)
