Describe the feature you want

Enjoying the app but I have an issue.

When I search for some things that have a wrong spelling on purpose the app says

"showing results for..." with the correct spelling.

The app is missing "search instead for..." option which is something I need and that features on the YouTube official app. This means I can't access some of the videos I want.

If this could be resolved that would be great. Otherwise great app.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it

Example: I want to search for "hostipal", spelt that way on purpose but there is no way to do it. Instead I get results for "hospital" and it says "showing results for hospital" unlike the real app which also features the option "search instead for hostipal"

This is the case for multiple instances of users and songs that are spelt the wrong way in the actual videos or channels and the autocorrect feature without the option to go for the wrong spelling stops this being possible.

Thanks
