YouTube titles intermittently appearing in search results

This example is a little misleading, the video title appears in the result — but the result is based on the text in the post

Definitely some kind of problem though… another example, there’s no mcalmont text in the post, and no results:

It’s also odd, because that same video appears in other topics… so video titles are indexed, but inconsistently.

I see yet another variation in my local test environment…

If I search for a video across all topics, I get my expected result:

If I search within the topic… not found!

The post itself is indexed though, because I can match on content:

This isn’t my wheelhouse, so I’m not sure what’s happening here, but hopefully someone more familiar with search can take a look.
