Use goquery instead of regex to scrape youtube search results #2

Should make it a bit more robust in case they update the website, also easier to fix

Testing

Ensure searching works, pay attention to:
- order of results matches the website
- duration/channel/stats show correctly
- doesn't crash when description is empty

Upon this afternoon's testing, it seems Clipzag is not a reliable website to obtain youtube's search results. For example, the entry "chicken nugget" returns no result at all. We need to find an even more robust way to obtain video resources. This will take a long, but worth a shot.
