I believe that the YouTube search tab doesn't add a UX improvement that's proportional to the amount of dev time required to implement, improve and maintain it compared to simply pasting in a video URL. These statements are also echoed in #1871964-4: YouTube search adds results thumbnail images to library.
I propose moving the YouTube search tab into a separate module, called something like Media: YouTube Extras which would deal with the more edge-case YouTube functionality such as searching for videos and uploading videos to YouTube from within your site, etc.

Devin Carlson CreditAttribution: Devin Carlson commentedA patch to remove the search tab.
I also created a sandbox project which adds the functionality back in. See Media: YouTube Extras. I would be happy to promote the sandbox to a full project and give anyone who was interested in maintaining it access.

@Devin: message / IRC me if you need a hand, got some details / ideas about other non-youtube searches.
Maybe we should rename / rebuild this and call it Media: search i figured. (?)
