Technically, you can already do that today, as many youtube-videos have now autogenerated subtitles. Someone just need to build a tool utilizing them for this. Though, to be fair, the quality of those subtitles is sometimes a bit questionable. And they are not available in all languages. Especially if you want a different language then what is spoken in the video.

But yes, of course this is another case in which text can shine because of its weakness. Simplicity can be beneficial.

I wonder when google search results will start directing you to the middle of a YT video

They do this already. Some google search results will present a snippet of a Youtube video most relevant. Here's an example of a search query with such a snippet.

I saw them do it a few years ago, it would link to the relevant clip in the youtube video that you could watch directly in the search results
