Description

qBittorrent info and operating system(s)

• qBittorrent version: 4.3.6
• Operating system(s) where the issue occurs: MacOS 10.14.6 (Mojave)

If on Linux, libtorrent-rasterbar and Qt versions

• Qt: (type here)
• libtorrent-rasterbar: (type here)

What is the problem

Searches across any search plugin return unexpected results as follows: A broad search such as "Lego Masters s02e04" returns results including "Lego Masters AU s02e04" and "Lego Masters US s02e04", whereas a specific search for Lego Masters us s02e04" returns a "no results" outcome. Another example includes a broad search for "Father Brown" returning results including "Father Brown s08", whereas a search for "Father Brown s08" returns a "no results" outcome.

This is true whether searching torrent names only or "everywhere". The outcome appears to be the same across search plugins.

Detailed steps to reproduce the problem

1. Perform a broad search, such as noted above.
2. Perform a specific search, such as noted above, and compare results.

What is the expected behavior

A specific search for results that appear in a broad search, should also return the more specific results searched for.

Extra info (if any)

@bean-drew

Probably an issue on your end, it seems to be working just fine, at least on Windows:

Try updating your search plugins, and make sure you're typing the new search query in the search bar, not in the Filter search results... field.

Also, please post at least the most recent log file as well; it is also required, not just the config.

qbittorrent.log.txt

Here's the log (I removed logs of unrelated torrents)

• Yes, the searches do work as anticipated on my Windows PC, but I can't determine why they wouldn't work on Mac. It could be something on my end, but then I don't know what. Python 3 is installed to the latest version, and the search is somewhat working, although malfunctioning in an unexpected way.
• I recently downgraded (with a total drive reformat) from Big Sur back to Mojave, so I'm not sure if it could be some problem arising from that.
• I'm also attaching a screenshot showing how the results populated for a general search, but returned no result (the yellow triangle exclamation mark) for the specific search for results that appeared in the general search. You can see here that searches are being conducted in the search bar, not the filter bar.
• ETA: yeah, search plugins are all up-to-date - I tried removing them all and reinstalling, as well as trying a few different ones that aren't included by default, and trying them each one-by-one. My Windows PC and Mac are on the same network, and have the same settings (except for different random port selection, and "Coalesce reads & writes" which is enabled on the PC). again, this is a fresh install of the MacOS, QBT and Python 3.

Removing the "Can't reproduce" label because i don't think any of us have a Mac to test.

@bean-drew try selecting an actual category instead of "All Categories" & see if that helps
