However, I am not able to perform online search videos on youtube for which I have installed lens using the instructions given here: http://askubuntu.com/a/91381/72576 I expected to get video results from youtube but no results were obtained. I posted a question on AskUbuntu but did not get answers, which I believe is because this is a bug- a feature request.
