I think you'll see less embedding going on if this isn't turn off-able in some way. It not only takes up quite a bit of space - it steals your visitors' attentions, too.

Instead of letting people easily watch videos embedded in your site, you're now giving them the option to get distracted by searching around for something else.

This is a good move for YouTube though - more videos watched and more exposure.

You can turn it off by adding &showsearch=0 to the url:
