Mixed search results

[martin-braun]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I like Odysee/LBRY a lot, but I'm still not happy with the results on the platform, yet. It's slowly getting there, but YouTube still offers more. I continue to use YouTube for the most part and this causes me to forget about LBRY, which I don't want. I especially don't want to miss creators who are censored or shadow banned on YouTube, but I cannot leave YouTube, because the results are so much richer. I'd like to see results from both platforms.

Describe the solution you'd like When I search for a video on YouTube, I'd love to see results from LBRY and YouTube mixed or side-by-side. I think this will further increase the traffic on LBRY and help creators on LBRY to be recognized through YouTube.

Describe alternatives you've considered There are some extensions who try to do this. One extension even added BitChute to the table, but all these extensions are bugged or do not work. Injecting YouTube results in LBRY was another idea of mine, but who wants to give data to Google while using LBRY? So it actually makes more sense this way.

Additional context It should give options about the results:

• Enable mixed search results (options: no, side-by-side, mixed in one column)
• Mix mode for mixed search results (only active if enabled), options:
  • Redundant: Just mix all results together, do not care about duplicates
  • Exclude YouTube duplicates: Replace YouTube videos with matching LBRY videos
  • Exclude LBRY duplicates: Skip LBRY videos that are already displayed in the search results by YouTube

Would be cool :+1: Can be done i guess, probably I will try to add it some time in the future. In few months, or weeks, maybe tomorrow
