Is there a way to improve torrent search?

Is there a way to improve torrent search, maybe by manually editing script files? I am mostly interested improving the search for piratebay because most of the tv shows and movies are there, but i get results from piratebay less of the 50% of the time. For example, for the first season of 'law and order svu' elementum burst doesn't find any results on piratebay, and if i look in the log this is the search url which is implemented: https://thepiratebay1.com:443/search/law%20order%20special%20victims%20unit%20s01/0/99/200, and the search string 'law order special victims unit s01' do not find any results. But if i go to piratebay website and search for law order svu s01 it finds results. So, is there a way to make elementum burst to implement this search 'law order svu s01' instead of 'law order special victims unit s01'?

I'm wondering about the same - is it possible to define a search with first n words from title. Did you find a solution?

I'm interested in this as well.

There should be an automatic search override when you can't find the proper torrent and let the user use a custom search phrase. And/Or let them add the torrent link in case they found it (usually torrent files for the whole season).

Directly watching TV shows from the torrent upload area defeats the purpose of using Elementum's catalog and Kodi library system

Closing this issue as being old. Please, re-open if it is still relevant.

If you install context.elementum addon, it now supports using custom query for searching in burst, and Burst will use it, without any modifications.
