Why not URLSearchParams?
URLSearchParams is an unordered map, and URLs are more
aesthetic if the video ID is at the start of them.
This code makes the video ID always the first parameter, and
then adds on the `search` from the original URL, with the
leading ? replaced.
If the original URL had no parameters, there will be no
additional text added here.
