Add -v flag to your command line you run youtube-dl with, copy the whole output and insert it here. It should look similar to one below (replace it with your log inserted between triple ```):

$ youtube-dl -v --flat-playlist --default-search="ytsearch" "blackpink" --skip-download --print-json

Currently, if we pass the "flat-playlist" options to ytdl, or as youtube_dl.YoutubeDL({"extract_flat": "in_playlist"...}), the first result is returned as per https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py#L2267-L2299 .

However, this does not extract the video title from the scraped page, only the video id.

The request uses an URL similar to youtube:search_url IE, https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py#L2309-L2329, which does extract the title.

Would it be possible to port the title extraction from youtube:search_url to youtube:search?

Thanks!
