Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

A common problem across many different private sites is that when they have a Global Freeleech event, the Cardigann indexers do not set a freeleech flag for all the results it returns.

Describe the solution you'd like

Set up a new yaml statement and selector so that Cardigann can detect if the torrent search page has a Global Freeeleech event happening, and force a freeleech flag for all results returned.
Suggested example:

 search:
  paths:
    - path: torrents.php
      globalfreeleech:
        selector: div.alert__content:contains("FREELEECH IS ON")
      inputs:
        search: "{{ .Keywords }}"

the selector would be optional in that if its not found no error is generated
But if found then all rows will have the freeleech flag set.

Describe alternatives you've considered

open to suggestions.

It's a good idea, but I think it's already possible with :root for CSS selectors. I'm not certain about the JSON selectors.

":root:has(div.onlyup)": 0

Holy crap, well spotted.
And I added that statement when I first created the torrent-explosiv indexer 5 years ago!
Forgot all about that CSS option ;-)

I'm going to close this ticket as redundant, and for any private site I have access I will start add any global freeleech I can spot.

Yes, you are right, its mostly going to work for html scrapers, cause for json/xml it will depend on whether they include a global field someplace in the response which most API don't provide.
