This is a limitation of the API of invidio.us: in search results, videos do not have the number of likes and dislikes.

Only /api/v1/videos/:id has this information, which can be accessed by a video ID. However, it takes several seconds to process each request, which is too slow in practice.

For now, the number of likes and dislikes are shown when passing an YouTube URL to straw-viewer.
