# BT4G

BT4G (bt4g.com) is not a tracker and doesn’t store any content and only collects torrent metadata (such as file names and file sizes) and a magnet link (torrent identifier).

This engine does not parse the HTML page because there is an API in XML (RSS). The RSS feed provides fewer data like amount of seeders/leechers and the files in the torrent file. It’s a tradeoff for a “stable” engine as the XML from RSS content will change way less than the HTML page.

## Configuration

The engine has the following additional settings:

- `bt4g_order_by`

- `bt4g_category`

With this options a SearXNG maintainer is able to configure additional engines for specific torrent searches. For example a engine to search only for Movies and sort the result list by the count of seeders.

    - name: bt4g.movie
      engine: bt4g
      shortcut: bt4gv
      categories: video
      bt4g_order_by: seeders
      bt4g_category: 'movie'

## Implementations

searx.engines.bt4g.bt4g_order_by = 'relevance'

  Result list can be ordered by `relevance` (default), `size`, `seeders` or `time`.

  Hint

  When time_range is activate, the results always ordered by `time`.

searx.engines.bt4g.bt4g_category = 'all'

  BT$G offers categories: `all` (default), `audio`, `movie`, `doc`, `app` and `` other``.
