Soooo, question on searching the __Bay: Suppose the title of a movie or show has an apostrophe or hyphen. I get little to no search results if I write it out verbatim. What's the trick? Example: A Bug's Life
I'm convinced it's something easy, I'm just ootl. Thanks in advance.
Not sure what you meant
I think you just have type out every combination
Using your example, keep trying
If you don't find it, someone might have not uploaded it. How popular is it?
I don't think those matter anyways, for example "Steins;Gate" is the official name, but when I input the search term "Steins Gate" the official title with the ; shows up too.
You might be on the wrong _Bay site
official site ends with .org btw
the🏴☠️bay[DOT]org
replace [DOT] with an actual dot
and the word 🏴☠️ is singular, not plual, so don't add an "s" for no reason.
Thanks. I'm referring to tpb.party which redirects to the .org. I prefer their .onion address but sometimes it's offline. And hard to find. tpb.party sounded sketchy as hell, but it's been working for me since finding it a few months ago.
I'll have to get back to you irt what exact movie I was searching for, just that my output was No Search Results if I typed the title out verbatim.
Thanks! I'll report back if it comes to mind again.
Also [email protected] might be able to help (community blocked by lemmy.world so you'll need another instance)
That's not the real site, and it doesn't redirect to the real site either, look at the url on the top of the browser bar... that stays the same, the logo is copied from the real one, its just a fake mirror, and probably doesn't show up everything as it would on the real site.
Ugh. Missed that. I'll caution my friends against it. It does serve up content, and I have successfully downloaded torrents from it. Strange but now my own sense of OPSEC is shit.
I am still new to Lemmy, thought world was the best instance. Guess I was wrong there, too. Thanks again! Such a helpful community.
