Khan Academy + Instant Search = Khan Instant (opens in new tab)

Cool in concept, but your search algorithm leaves something to be desired.

Your app reminded me I wanted to watch Khan's videos on IPOs, so I type in: IPO ... about half way down the list of ~50 results are the videos I wanted to watch (An IPO, More on IPOs).. I actually had to do a Ctrl-F to find them in the result list.

Can I get Instant Instant? Where I want to search for a general topic generally and by typing in something, the instant search instant returns the best instant search engine?

Genius. Yep, I said it. But the initial video showed confused me when I did a new search and the video stayed the same. Shouldn't the most relevant video load instantly?

Great interface, however: I don't find myself trusting the results when it populates differently depending on how quickly I type a word. Typing "chemistry" at different rates gives different results, including some results that aren't related to chemistry (such as banking). By the way I type generally between 70-140+wpm depending on the word.

Minor bug: "searching" for startup yields two of the same video, instead of the two parts of Khan's presentation on founder equity.

Great idea. May want to turn off browser's own 'autocomplete' as its popup results obscure the top of those in your page.

I was just thinking today that they (Khan Academy) should add an instant search instead of the wall of links they have currently. For a user such as one of us, the wall of links is ideal for a CTRL-F find to quickly highlight lessons on, say, vectors, but for non-technical users, this solution may not come to mind.

Thank you very much. I have been looking for a better search for KA and instant results are a plus.

Nicely done! It would be nice if you would allow the user to fullscreen the videos. I think adding "allowFullScreen: true" to your params object for your js embed would add this functionality.

Try "linear algebra," it doesn't really yield good results.
