10. Click Save Engine
11. Set it as your default search engine if desired

Looks like there may be a bug here. Step 9 includes ds=yt which (apparently) instructs Google to return results using YouTube search.

Weird, I wasn't getting YouTube-specific results with that. I removed it and it seems to work the same, so I'll take it out of the doc.
