Javascript Youtube search API not finding video

$

If I search for "ten thousand islands mofro" on youtube, the desired video is the first result. However, I that video simply does not show up using Google's Youtube search API. Even when I search very specifically, it simply returns zero results. Here is my code:

var request = gapi.client.youtube.search.list({    q: "ten thousand islands mofro",    part: 'id, snippet',    type: 'video'});

Does this have something to do with copyright issues? But, if so, why would I be able to find it effortlessly on Youtube, yet not by using its API?

EDIT: It's definitely something to do with searching for music. Searching "harmonious funk blake aaron" also does not return the correct video, though it does when searching via the Youtube website. It looks like, for some reason, youtube channels with "- Topic" are not returned from the API. Still looking for workarounds or reasons as to why.
