Miro search returns no results despite the video's existence

Sometimes I will watch a video on youtube and try to download it on miro but the search returns no results, even if I search using the video's exact title. This has happened a few times and it's really frustrating as I really want these videos!

 

I’m sad, angry and confused

  It is a beautifully made video and I would very much like to have it. It has been flagged as 18 plus, though I don't know why and I thought that may have been it but other 18 plus videos showed up in the miro search...

  Miro searches YouTube and accesses videos much like a browser, so if a result won't show up in a normal YouTube RSS search, it won't show up in Miro. Eventually we will have a browser plug-in that will let you grab stuff like this from Firefox, but for now you might want to try video downloader: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/ad...

   

  I’m sorry

  Yeah me too. Jed, here is an example with details.
  Doing a youtube search in the youtube website for "traditional mongolian goat slaughter" returns all six videos. In Miro it only returns Part 3.
  
  http://www.youtube.com/results?search...
  
  This happens with MANY searches. A search at youtube may return 50-100 hits but the same in Miro returns 2 or at most 10.

  Edit
  Try searching youtube in miro for "photoshop". It returns 20 hits. 20???
  There are *hundreds* of returns if you go to the youtube website.
