I’m looking to find out which torrent search engines you consider the best, especially those with advanced search features. By advanced search, I mean something like this.

Prowlarr and all my accounrs on trackers
This. Sometimes I’ll go to an actual torrent site for shits & grins but why go search on 1 site when I can search 50+ at once?
Exactly my thinking.
Every once I will visit my fav tracker just to break out of my bubble.
Why do I need to install this? Why can’t I just search online somewhere?
It’s mainly used for automation within arr setups
You can’t use public search engines for private trackers.
You can use public trackers in prowlarr and jackett
Pretty big plus for me.
Do you mean you can use private trackers in prowlarr and jackett? Just to clarify, since you wrote “public”.
Yes. Both.
There is only a selection of public trackers but the popular ones like 1337x, TPB, (formerly) Rarbg, etc. are there.
Really depends on what you need.
Prowlarr allows you to add as many trackers as you want. It supports torrent and Usenet sites, public or private.
You can give it a single search query and it’ll search all viable sources simultaneously and return a compiled list of everything it finds.
You can also direct it to your arr programs like Sonarr and Radarr. Prowlarr will add its indexers to your other apps so they can utilize its search capabilities.
Do you know a way to incorporate private trackers into search engines?
Literally the thing they said. Prowlarr.
Makes sense, sorry for the stupid question. Never used and *arr application before :)
No worries, welcome to the high seas.

Depending on the trackers no other solution can even come close
