Do you keep the transcripts around on the server? It shouldn't matter much in terms of storage unless the site becomes crazy popular, so you could offer a "best effort search" or something along the lines, that just searches everything you got so far, so the site would get better and better over time.

YouTube kills your API key if you do this and make the data available (eg via API).
You're allowed to cache responses for a bit but not store them long term. "How would they know", etc of course, but if you're distributing the data they'll figure it out. Some smart cookies over there at Google.
My small website managed to get on their radar and I didn't even post it to HN!
