- You can use boolean operators (-, |, OR), wildcards (*, ?), and phrase search (") in your query
- For BitTorrent: Paste in a 40 characters info_hash, to search for that particular torrent and get all trackers for it

I noticed more and more so called "meta-search engines" are popping up. They either work by sticking isoHunt and other sites with search facility in a frame, or attempt to parse results from isoHunt and other sites and merge them to 1 page of search results. For those of you who think you are getting more bang for your search from them, know that we
already index every site most meta search engines would care to include
. We actually index and add tracker cross-referencing, so not only do you get much faster search results, you get additional trackers for each torrent.
To avoid blowing my own trumpet too much, here's the
experience of a blogger searching on various torrent sites, including isoHunt
. You can do the same. I'd really welcome some more in depth comparison on the depth and quality of our search results with other sites. If you do, please do reply and link under this.
And ya, Merry Christmas everyone!  |
