Getting search queries from YouTube api?

I am adding a YouTube video to my page and can detect when the user clicks the Play and Pause button on the video.

I also need to be able to detect when a user searches / jumps to a specific part of the video (as opposed to letting him just play with that point). How to do it?

I am using Youtube iframe api: https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference

I can crack this by starting a timer and checking every second if the video plays for more than a second, and if that counts as its search. However, there seems to be an easier way to do this.
