I'm new to Cross-Seed, just tried it out for the first time to seed my BHD downloads on BLU. I did two scans, one as "safe", one as "risky", both times with includeEpisodes and includeNonVideos as true. All other settings in config were left as default. But my scans seemed to pull up a disappointingly small number of matches (only about 30% of all the torrents it scanned), so I started manually searching BLU, and quickly found many torrents that hadn't been matched by Cross-Seed. I've manually added these to my client - they're identical in size and name, and they're verifying perfectly. And it doesn't seem to be a problem with Jackett, as I can search for and find the aforementioned torrents in Jackett's interface. Am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! |

Verbose logs will tell you why they were rejected |

Yes, I see it in the logs. Cross-seed searches for the torrent, and 10 seconds later, moves on to the next. There are no error messages or any other information in the log. |

That means it's probably not finding it in the search results |

I've had a closer look. Many of these 'missed' torrents can be explained by apostrophes. For example, the word "Marvel's" is sometimes written as "Marvels" in the name of the torrent, but in the title of the torrent it is written as "Marvel's", thus the search fails. Or vice-versa. Perhaps cross-seed could be made to account for this, by removing "s" and "apostrophe-s" from the end of every word? And maybe removing common words like "I'm" ? |

I think the position I'm gonna take here is that it's on the tracker to have better search. Cross-seed cannot accommodate all of the search quirks of every tracker |

Cross seed should handle and support raw-search if it doesn't already. jackett and prowlarr indicate which sites support raw search (I.e. send without apostrophe stripped) and which don't (I.e. newznabify the search string) |
