They do, its called spotlight in-app search and its up to the developer to implement it. HBO already has.

I was thinking more about Siri, though. Unless it's supposed to do that and it doesn't for me for some reason.
Oh Please....... go to hell. $10 a month, who are they kidding...?? Ought to be more like $10 a year. It isn't worth it or my time. The same goes for Apple Music.
Did anyone expect anything different to come of unbundling services?
I want what they are smoking. Youtube is not a premium site.
Not really. I can keep my current Apple Music subscirption and block all ads from every website with Adblock+. That's a no brainier.
Why should I pay for features that I can get for free with other alternatives? Probably so I can now pay Google to have everything in one place so they can mine more usage data out of me...
Background audio - jailbreak (free)
Google Play Music access - free if you upload your own tracks, if you want free streaming use Spotify
No ads - jailbreak (free)
Saving offline - same as above
I'm sure there are other tweaks on Android that allow the same features for free.
You currently don't have to pay a cent to get all the features (okay, sans streaming, but you can technically get it elsewhere) this subscription service is offering, and everything I listed is legal.
Blocking ads with an adblocker is not stealing and to claim it is is completely ludicrous.
You can punk anything you want and get an inferior user experience.
You forgot using your cassette tape to record AM radio. If you're going to go white trash go all the way.
Apple allows ad blockers on the safari extensions page and App Store. As long as it's not illegal, I'm taking advantage of it.
So you're telling me using other streaming services is an "inferior user experience"? Please.
You can drop the Google subscription recruitment act.
This is great!!! First Google charges the client to display the ad, then Google charges the user to get rid of them.
HOLY-GUACAMOLE-BATMAN!

Not recruiting just correcting ignorant statements that this service isn't worth it when the article doesn't explain what is actually being offered.
YouTube Red > Apple Music
It definitely does.
From the article:
Google has also bundled a Play Music subscription into YouTube Red on iOS and Android, providing access to both services for a combined $9.99 or $12.99 monthly payment. YouTube Red's unlimited access to both streaming music, videos and more makes it an attractive competitor alongside rivals like Apple Music and Spotify.
-----------
Bottom line: it's still not worth it.
I stand corrected.
Then most commenters don't know a bargain when they see it.
Bottom Line. If you are an Apple Music subscriber it is a no brainer to switch to YouTube Red.
More value for the dollar, cross platform and most importantly a better user experience.
By the way, there are plenty of apps in the App Store that allow you to play videos without ads and play them in the background. Protube is one example.
Not to mention it allows for picture-in-picture and split view, which Google is slow to adopt.
