Hi, I noticed that if you ask Alexa to play a song that has the word 'ready' in it, it won't recognize the word and omit it from search. Here is an example below with what it searched and what I actually said to Alexa. (PS. This seems to affect more than just 'ready'. See images below.) capture capture

Try using the query "ask youtube to search for ..." rather than "search youtube for ...".

Closing due to inactivity. In your query, you are using search youtube for when it should be ask youtube to search for. It's a bit of a nuance, but it's because the skill is called youtube, so you must request it first before giving a directive.
