Description

So I've recently discovered the ytsearch flags, which allows the user to specify a search query and run the subsequent youtube-dl command on the results.

Currently, the ytsearch flags seem to only take a single keyword. Could we add the ability to loop through a text file with keywords, similar to how the user can specify a text file of videos to iterate through?

  1. ytsearch does not take keywords in the first place. It's an arbitrary string search query.
  2. Bother to read FAQ: --batch-file.
