Search multiple keywords in Youtube GData Youtube class

The Youtube API document says that multiple keywords can be searched during video fetch as per the below link.

https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/reference#Searching_for_videos

The below link gives some examples for the same. The example provided for the "q" parameter says that we can use NOT (-) and OR (|) operator in the search:

https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/reference#qsp

Example: q=boating%7Csailing does a search for either boating or sailing.

I am able to understand these points. My question is I am using ZendGData library in Zend Framework 2 to search the videos. I am not sure how to provide multiple keywords for the search.

$yt = new ZendGData\YouTube();
$query = $yt->newVideoQuery();

All the combinations that I tried is provided below. None of them works.

$query->setQuery("french,tamil");
$query->setQuery("french|tamil");
$query->setQuery("french%7Ctamil");
$query->setQuery("french or tamil");

Note: The docs says to use url encode so that the pipe symbol is encoded. That's why I treid %7C in the search.

The URL generated by the ZendGData class is: https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=french|tamil&start-index=58&max-results=50&safeSearch=none&orderby=viewCount&format=5&v=2

This does not fetch the videos with keyword "tamil". All the videos are from the first keyword only.

Please point me in the correct direction.

Or this with a simple space. Tested it and it found all the keywords https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=french%20tamil&start-index=1&max-results=50&safeSearch=none&orderby=viewCount&format=5&v=2

So try this $query->setQuery("french tamil"); or $query->setQuery(urlencode(("french tamil"));

Also your start-index looks strange and should that not be start-index=1
