Add an option to drop down list, when you right click on a torrent on your transfer list, to start a search in qbittorrents search engine using that torrents name. This would be much faster than copying the torrents name, and pasting it to the search field manually, and would make searching for more sources for the torrent much faster.

This sounds very specialized to your needs, so useless for the majority of users, therefore bloat. If you download several torrents with same name from the search engine, well... stop closing the tab for that search until satisfied.

Specialized.......I want to add SOURCES, meaning other trackers to a specific torrent which might have more seeders than my original source tracker. I don't add different versios of a torrent to my download list. And the reason why I want this feature is simple, I have over 200 torrents on my download list, and lot of them have very few seeders, so the search function comes in handy when I'm looking for more seeders.

Maybe adding these or some of these https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist to your torrents might be less troublesome than searching by name which doesn't guarantee it will be the same torrent.

Also ensure DHT & PEX are activated... generally these will be more than adequate at finding available peers. Searching for the exact same torrentname string sounds really ineffective

thalieht - Not a bad idea, but again I have over 200 torrents on my download list, and I am not manually editing/adding new trackers to all of them. I did find an interesting thread about another feature that might help with this, but it has not been implemented yet. https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/2428

Yes it's a shame qBt doesn't have such a fundamental feature. Someone tried to make something (mentioned in that issue) but it got stuck in GUI implementation details (no one has a good idea how to present it in GUI and i think the main devs don't care about it enough but if there was a solid design idea someone might pick it up).
