We’re not generally in the habit of handing out techy tips on this site, but thought this was useful. Youtube have decided in their wisdom to add a big ugly search box to embedded video. Happily someone has already worked out a way of getting rid of this by adding &showsearch=0 so that your embed text goes from this:

embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/HgSRiJjmnYY&hl” type etc…

to this:

embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/HgSRiJjmnYY&hl&showsearch=0″ type etc…

And your video reverts from fixed to not-broken:

Oh joy, now we just have to go back through all our old youtube clips and add this code.
With thanks to Troy Schneider.

**Update**: They’ve ditched it already. Hooray.
