openURL and YouTube

Question

Is there any way to open the YouTube app from my app, with a defined search query? If not, is there a way to just open YouTube, without playing any video? All I'm finding is ways to play videos.

Answer 1

Looks like there is no way to open the YouTube app without a video.

Answer 2

If you just navigate to http://www.youtube.com, that will obviously "just open YouTube, without playing any video" -- so I imagine you're after something fancier, but I can't guess what. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=foobar will open with a search query for foobar -- again, what exactly are you after, besides such elementary mashup issues?
