What search plugin do I need to install for v4.1.5?

Post by 11091987 »

Hi, I have been using qbittorrent for ages and recently I have downloaded the new version but when I search for something, no results come up at all no matter what I type in the search bar.
I just found out that I need a search plugin, is that correct?
If so, which plugin do I need and how do I correspond it with the program? Is it as simple as just installing on the operating system like a normal program?

TIA

Have you tried "searching" this forum for "search"? A few suggestions were returned when I did it. Pfft.. :)

Maybe you'd have preferred hundreds of "I don't know" replies?!

So in answer to your question... I don't know.

No need to be smart asses.
I thought maybe people could just reply with an answer to my question to help out, not reply with "I don't know", you dick!
Anyone can be a smart ass, don't live your life being "one of those people", it wont get you anywhere.

If you've not yet solved this, and for others who end up on this thread:
I just installed qB and stumbled across the Search function. It was empty and did nothing until I downloaded the python script that I guess it uses, and then DL the search scripts.
The good news is that v 4.1.5, walked me through every step, super clear and easy.

Here is what I remember it had me do:

Go to the Search Tab, on the bottom right, hit the "Search Plugins" button.
A dialog box will come up saying that it needs to use Python, and should it install such. Answer yes and Python is installed.

Now hit that tab again, and a list of installed Search Plugns are displayed.
Click on the link near the bottom: "You can get new search engine plugin's here: ...."
https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/wiki/Unofficial-search-plugins
and select which ones you want to install.
Now the Installed Search plugins box should be populated.
Every week or so, go back here and hit the Update button.
