Search (Pro)

Search finds torrents through your own Jackett or Prowlarr endpoint and hands the selected magnet to the active Transmission, qBittorrent, or local server. This is a Pro feature.

Setup

  1. Install and configure either Jackett or Prowlarr
  2. In the app, go to Settings > Search
  3. Select your service type (Jackett or Prowlarr)
  4. Fill in the connection details:
Field Description Jackett Default Prowlarr Default
HOST Hostname or IP of the service (required) (required)
PORT Service port 9117 9696
PATH API endpoint path /api/v2.0/indexers/all/results/torznab /api/v1/search
USE SSL/HTTPS Enable for HTTPS connections Off Off
API KEY API key from your Jackett or Prowlarr instance (required) (required)
  1. Tap Test Connection to verify

Searching

Open the search screen from the app and enter your query. Results are returned from all configured indexers in your Jackett or Prowlarr instance. Each result shows the torrent name, size, seeders, and leechers.

Tap a result to open Adding Torrents with the magnet filled in. Download path and start behavior remain available.

Jackett vs Prowlarr

Both serve the same purpose (aggregating indexers), but differ in approach:

  • Jackett is a simpler, standalone indexer proxy. Good if you only need search for this app.
  • Prowlarr is part of the Servarr ecosystem and can manage indexers for multiple applications. Good if you also use Sonarr, Radarr, or similar tools.

Either works with the app. Choose based on your existing setup.
