Concerns raised: Security risk installing unverified extension with data access, YouTube search filters limited by lack of API support, Date field naming confusing ("Date after" vs "from"), Mobile version missing search functionality, YouTube deliberately broke search to discourage old video discovery
Feature requests: Sort by upload date (recently removed by YouTube), Restrict date fields to prevent future dates, Mobile version support, Last hour filter
