# 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.

![Search Panel](../image/feature/search-panel.png)

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.

![Search Provider Settings](../image/feature/search-provider.png)

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`:

```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"
}
```
