In Chrome, Firefox and Edge, you can hit control+l or F6 a few times to get
to the address and search bar. Here, if you type in a URL it'll take you to
that page, but you can also type in a search string to perform a web search.

If you're searching for something on the page, with JAWS you can hit
control+f to bring up the JAWS search function. If you want to get to the
search on page function in Chrome or Edge, you can use the pass through key
in JAWS, namely JAWS+key-3, and then hit control+f.

There's a search box at the top of the Youtube page, if you want to search
for something specifically in Youtube. You can get to it the way you wo9uld
with any edit box. I use the 'e' key in JAWS or NVDA or Narrator.
