I subscribe to a few YouTube channels. Many are instructional. I would like to go into one of these channels I subscribe to and search for, say, paint bubbles and pull up videos for bubble painting from only that one channel I have subscribed to. Is this possible?

If you go the the user’s Youtube home page you should see the search button (“magnifying glass”) above the channel’s featured video. If you click on this it will open a search box and you can enter your search terms.
