Seems this functionality, site search, is disabled by default on Mac OS, or at least it was for me.

To enable it, go to

Chrome → Settings → Search Engine → Manage search engines and site search → Site Search

and enable the shortcuts you want from the list of available, inactive shortcuts. In case no shortcut is available for YouTube, you can manually add one. In my case, the default was:

It seems that only setting the search_query parameter in the URL is sufficient, the other parameters are probably used for analytics.
