Torrent Search

Since v3.1, AB includes a search feature for quickly finding anime.

Using the Search Feature

WARNING

The search feature relies on the main program's parser. The current version does not support parsing collections. A warning when parsing collections is normal behavior.

The search bar is located in the AB top bar. Click to open the search panel.

Select the source site, enter keywords, and AB will automatically parse and display search results. To add an anime, click the add button on the right side of the card.

TIP

When the source is Mikan, AB uses the mikan parser by default. For other sources, the TMDB parser is used.

Managing Search Sources

Since v3.2, you can manage search sources directly in the Settings page without editing JSON files.

Search Provider Settings Panel

Navigate to Config → Search Provider to access the settings panel.

From here you can:

• View all configured search sources
• Add new search sources with the "Add Provider" button
• Edit existing source URLs
• Delete custom sources (default sources mikan, nyaa, dmhy cannot be deleted)

URL Template Format

When adding a custom source, the URL must contain %s as a placeholder for the search keyword.

Example:

https://example.com/rss/search?q=%s

The %s will be replaced with the user's search query.

Default Sources

The following sources are built-in and cannot be deleted:

Source	URL Template
mikan	https://mikanani.me/RSS/Search?searchstr=%s
nyaa	https://nyaa.si/?page=rss&q=%s&c=0_0&f=0
dmhy	http://dmhy.org/topics/rss/rss.xml?keyword=%s

Adding Sources via Config File

You can also manually add sources by editing config/search_provider.json:

{
  "mikan": "https://mikanani.me/RSS/Search?searchstr=%s",
  "nyaa": "https://nyaa.si/?page=rss&q=%s&c=0_0&f=0",
  "dmhy": "http://dmhy.org/topics/rss/rss.xml?keyword=%s",
  "bangumi.moe": "https://bangumi.moe/rss/search/%s"
}
