Search a specific string in Youtube application from my app

I have a button that when i tap on it i want to invoke Youtube app and search for predefined string(the search string is constant, i mean that Youtube app will display automatically the results). I know that for searching a channel, we put 

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/user/channel"))

But what about searching for a specific video (constant string)? Thank you for your help.

public void searchYt(String searchQuery) {
    Intent searchIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEARCH);
    searchIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.youtube");
    searchIntent.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY, searchQuery);
    startActivity(searchIntent);
  }

call this method and pass your string as argument searchYt("freecodecamp")
