HOW TO READ THIS REPORT

Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface NotJoeMartinez/yt-fts, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.

    # yt-fts - YouTube Full Text Search: Build a Local, Searchable Database of YouTube Transcripts

`yt-fts` is a powerful command-line program designed for YouTube power users, researchers, and content creators. It leverages `yt-dlp` to scrape all subtitles from specified YouTube channels or playlists, then efficiently loads them into a local SQLite database. This enables fast, full-text search directly from your terminal, allowing you to query for keywords or phrases across an entire collection of videos and generate timestamped YouTube URLs to the exact moments of interest. It also supports advanced semantic search via OpenAI/Gemini embeddings or ChromaDB.

    ## Comparison to Alternatives

While tools like `yt-dlp` and `youtube-transcript-api` are excellent for downloading YouTube videos or extracting individual transcripts, `yt-fts` differentiates itself by building a persistent, searchable SQLite database of all collected subtitles. This allows for efficient, channel-wide full-text and semantic search capabilities directly from your terminal, providing a powerful way to navigate and analyze spoken content across large collections of YouTube videos, rather than just downloading raw data.
