Custom search string question

[paul knight]

Hi all,

Currently I use the search function to find missing episodes. Some shows I get in 720P and others in 1080P. Is there a way I can customise the search string to include this, either manually entering against each show or even better pulling it from the local folder name?

Thanks in advance.

I'm no expert, but the only way I can think of doing this is to use a couple of custom search engine entries in Options > Search Engines.

I tend to look (initially) for HDTV Xvid files and my (current) preferred search engine is Kickass so I've created a custom entry in "Search Engines" that looks like this: -

Which appends xvid and hdtv to the search for me.

I know Kickass has "OR" functionality so something like: -

https://kat.cr/usearch/{ShowName} s{Season:2}e{Episode2} 1080p OR 720p/

would only find stuff containing 1080p OR 720p 

It may take some fiddling around to get the syntax right for a particular torrent search engine but it works...

Afterthought...

If your access to the torrent search engines is blocked by your ISP you can also tweak the settings to use a proxy -

the example in my previous post can be rewritten as: -

http://freeproxy.io/o.php?u=https://kat.cr/usearch/{ShowName}%20s{Season:2}e{Episode2}%20hdtv%20xvid/
