YouTube Search Feature Adds Videos Set under a different account.

I would like to suggest a feature to allow administrators to set the account that is used for videos that get listed.   Reason for this is because I really dont like having the administrator account name set next to who put the video up.  I would rather create another account wiht a display name that works for the video search that lets visitors know it was auto-created content and not put up by the website administrator as it looks like we approve the video when actually we have yet to moderate it for videos off topic.

I get a lot of REAL ESTATE or FOR SALE when I try to look up an area that may have videos about anything about that area.  Also other videos such as the FREE MASON's or other political videos that have nothing at all to do with the area I am looking for videos.

I don't want it to look like my website endorses any of those videos.

This is why I suggest allowing us to set the default user that is shown for posting the videos other than the webmaster that may be something like Posted by Video Search or whatever you may choose for example.

Also maybe an option to set the display name for each search might work great as then we can put the type of Auto Search that populated that video and let a moderator know which keyword search is creating that post.

Or if it is an auto-search one other option is to have a way to allow administrator to instead of showing who posted it show a word or display name set in the options of the module that when you hover over the name or click on it it will display the keywords used for the search to let other people know these are the words you need to put in Title and Description to allow the video to be listed.

I see a lot of videos that may have the keyword set in the video on youtube, but these keywords do not show up in the description or the title.  I would suggest a finer search listing option of allowing admins to set if the search must meet a certain criteria to be listed.

Option to set keywords to match Title, Keywords, Description of video.  I can imagine 3 check boxes for keyword searches that help you show how much relevance the video must have in each of the categories. 

I think this is another idea possibly, my mind just works in so many directions maybe you can help me break these up?  Or maybe should be a part of the other idea related to similar ideas to the struggles administrator/moderators are having.

Maybe I need to create a moderator video account and give it permission to add that module to a page and use that account to list the videos with the search?  Couple questions at the end of my idea I know this is a bit out of the norm... my appologies.

These are very custom requirements for custom business needs. I don't see these impacting the general community. All of the suggested ideas require signification development work to accomplish and will be better served if these were sponsored developments.
