qBittorrent official forums

HI,
yesterday I noticed that the Search engine has stopped working: irrespective of what sort of search I input there are 0 returns.

Running qBt 2.3.1 on Win 10 x64 1909.
The engine was working until a few days ago (don't use it frequently).
Have tried to downgrade to 4.2.5 to no effect (pretty sure search was working then)
Have uninstalled and reinstalled the plugins.

Nothing seems to help (including reboots).

Any ideas? Thanks

Idea 1: Click View. Is Search Engine enabled?

Idea 2: Click View > Log > Show. Under the Execution Log tab is there an entry starting with Python detected?

@ItWasSooted thanks for your help

Yes it's enabled

Idea 2: Click View > Log > Show. Under the Execution Log tab is there an entry starting with Python detected?

Found this:
7/12/20 10:23 - Python detected, executable name: 'C:/Users/XYZ/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python39/python.exe', version: 3.9

Same Problem here. Most search engines do not work anymore.
macOS 10.13
qB 4.3.2
Python 3.5.6
