[Wishlist] Optimize search by using Regular Expressions

[SDERAWI]

I think having a tooltip or a hint about how to filter the search with regular expressions would be great.

Or as a second suggestion you could add some extra boxes for

1: Match exactly (name)
2: Don't include anything with (name)
3: Bigger than (size) Less than (size)

Yes, +1 to this.
In addition, in my opinion, the result by default should contain all the words typed in the search input.
Thank you and sorry for the duplicate.

I watched in the plugin code:
When you search for "ubuntu 10.04" from the torrent site, it will give you first the exactly match of "ubuntu 10.04", if it's found, then all results containing "ubuntu", "10.04" and the rest.
qBittorrent, instead, does the request of the first 11 pages of results ordered by seed, so if "ubuntu 8.04" has more seeders of ubuntu 10.04, it will show "ubuntu 8.04" first. This is causing many results that, apparently, make no sense.

A solution could be to change the url query to not ordering them, so we will have meaningful results first. But this is still bad, if we want to order results by seeders to download fast. Probably a radio box filter "exactly match" as suggested before from SDERAWI would be, in my opinion, a good solution.

I'm sorry for my bad english and I hope to have helped you in addressing the problem.
Thanks.

On qBittorrent's website, it says it supports regular expressions. But that's not true, it's only simple wildcard matching plus the caracter class feature from regular expressions. It would be great if one could activate real regex support somewhere in the options. It may be true that real regular expressions are to difficult for many users but they are also exceptionally more powerful. So please let the advanced user choose.

Why not make just a filter system where we could specify the extension of the file we're looking for (if there is one), the minimum size, the maximum size, the minimum number of seeders etc ?
Personaly I find the size very characteristic of the file I'm looking for.

Regular expressions would be an improvement of that filtering, but I find it less important.

There is a similar problem (at least apparently) to the one you already solved with the torrentreactor.net plugin, that is returning non-AND results. Can you have a look at it please?
Thanks. :)
