Suggestion: Return the thumbnail uri and author channelid with the ytsearch data

[Kaydax]

This would be a very helpful feature as it removes the need to use the youtube api to grab the thumbnail url and the author id as all the other info, like the title and uri, are already returned with the lavalink ytsearch feature.

removes the need to use the youtube api

How so? Do you expect Lavalink to conjure the channel and thumbnail out of thin air? Or is your suggestion to implement querying the Youtube API as part of Lavalink?

Would depend on https://github.com/sedmelluq/lavaplayer/pull/101

Would also be useful if it included the description, too.

this has now been implemented in Lavalink v4 see first beta release https://github.com/lavalink-devs/Lavalink/releases/tag/4.0.0-beta.1

as for author id a custom source manager would do this
