/yt is pretty crappy

[Joshua Petry]

YouTube's search is pretty good. But if I do something like

#!

/yt garbage paranoid

...I can get like the seventh YouTube result. Usually when we do the /yt commands, we want it to return a specific video (such as the official Vevo video in this case). Is it possible to just return the first (most relevant) result?

If you want the first result instead of a random one from the top 10 results, try this instead:

/yt! garbage paranoid

The secretish ! suffix on the command causes it to just use the first result.

Maybe youtube should always use the top hit (shrug). We may do a rewrite of Sassy soon (or may not) to use new HipChat Connect features, which would render this request obsolete.
