The 'search' box on the search page basically searches YouTube, instead of searching YouDescribe and then YouTube #127

When text is entered into the search box on the search page, YouDescribe calls 
a YouTube API to get search results. It then checks whether any of the videos 
in the results are already described on YouDescribe/DVX. Since YouTube returns 
only the 25 'most relevant' videos in the results, for some search terms the 
results don't show any videos from YouDescribe/DVX, even though some described 
videos would match the search.

The search box should search YouDescribe first, and then YouTube.

Note that searching by a YouTube videoID (e.g. 
http://youdescribe.org/search.php?v=GbycvPwr1Wg) appears to always return the 
video with that videoID first, followed by others which may match the term. 
This is the desired behavior, and should be maintained through any changes.

An open question is whether the search on YouDescribe should include searching 
by describer, as well as by video title.

Perhaps the search should go:

1/. videoID on YouDescribe
2/. Title on YouDescribe
3/. Describer on YouDescribe
4/. Existing search on YouTube (by videoID and title), leaving out any that 
already matched on YouDescribe.
