SABnzbd Forums

since rss is an easy way to get results why doesnt sabnzbd integrate a search page, you can create searches pretty simply via the following format, atleast with nzbindex.nl

basic url http://nzbindex.nl/rss/?
q stands for query q=whateverhere+somemoretonarrow+moreifyouwish
&sort=agedesc basically says sort by age and description
&max=250 nzbindex rss only allows for 250 results so this is really null and you could leave off as it should default to this

and your left with

http://nzbindex.nl/rss/?q=goonies+x264& ... sc&max=250

works everytime in a feed. be pretty much an easy way to integrate search functionality with little to no work. id do it but there has to be someone in dev that deals with the ins and outs of python. i coded python a lil here and there in some xbmc, but im by far no expert i can write bash scripts php mysql blah blah, but this is written in python.

if no one responds ill use google(my friend) and code this directly into sabnzbd if possible. or perhaps i missed this somewhere, nzbgetter is an external app, but really it doesnt seem to work correctly. and the rss page with a lil work could be just used as a search mechanism.

I've never understood the need to search from SABnzbd.
On an indexer's website you can a better idea of what you found.
There are plenty of ways to couple NZBs to SABnzbd (plugins, associations).

more or less about automation. and plus depends on how you are using sabnzbd too. if you use it from your home then i can understand your point, but im using it on my server, so its convenient to be able search from within one window, without having to leave it. also rss feed tells everything that is found, the html table generated just doesnt show the desc tag, if it did, it could show age, size, whether its passworded. i mean fetching a url, you have to goto website setup search copy url then paste it or download nzb then reupload it. theres really no need for coupling when it could easily be implemented in the source. but i guess thats their/your prerogative. i just tinker with it till i get somn i like.
