There may already be a way to do this, and if so, I apologize.
I have never used search engines in other torrent clients (uTorrent namely) because they were cumbersome and frustrating to bother with... however I did like the search of you torrents so I could locate something I have already download quickly, or to find that I am missing.. So it was nice to type 2 or 3 letters and boom.... only things listed with them

While installing qBittorrent, my only fear was it wouldn't do anything like that...
IT DOES - And frankly, better.

So then I thought I'd click on the search tab and see if that was a better experience.
I can type a single word, like a group name, and it shows them! and its easy to add new search engines.

However... should you need to see the newest (or oldest) you seem out of luck.
Ideally I would love to see a "Date" column that I can click to sort ascending or descending like any of the other columns... I suppose it may need a date uploaded (pulled from the site it was on) and maybe a date completed (so you could sort locally as of when it was completed.) But the first one is far more useful.

The search engines actually parse the webpage returned by the respective sites. I don't know how easy it is to get the date. Moreover those plugins are coded using the Python programming language by the previous maintainer. I am not really familiar with that language so it is highly unlikely if I'll ever be able to extend the search features.

Anyone wanting to fix this is welcome.

Ok, thanks!
I just figured since it gave you the Seeds/Peers and so on, it would help
minimizing looking for new things added since yesterday,

Also, so far that's all that I find lacking... but uTorrent didn't do it
either!
I have always had a workflow with several sites in a single tab in
chrome... then I can click it to open all in separate tabs OR right-click
and choose one..

But if the sites do non't give you a way to sort by dates, then I can keep
using Chrome.

I have already had 8 of 13 people I showed it to try it, and now make it
their default.
The others would have follows suit with the date column on search result.

Anyway, I still love it... the tiny size, lack of bloatware, amd many
others make it better,, ALSO, the web access blows uTorrent's away... and
for mobile, that search engine would be very usefull to not have to open
torrent sites on the phone.... knda tedious.

my 2 cents.

It's need to modify all search engines and some web pages don't give the date, but can be implemented in the future.

This is very, very needed. For my purposes, the release date of the torrent is the most important way of sorting!

+1 Please, please please add this.
For any search engines that don't support the date/time, just leave the field empty.
