Search Engine Bug

[ecopque]

Hello! This is not the first time this has happened, but once again the search system stopped working. When clicking on "Search Plugins" the list of plugins is empty. When trying to install new ones I get the message that it is not possible to update/install. Has anyone experienced this and know how to fix it?

Note: there is no point in deleting and reinstalling, the problem remains.
Note2: I use Linux/Debian.

Thanks! ;-)

Ok, I seem to have it working again.
What I did was, close qbittorrent completely(check in Task manager). Then I deleted the entire "engines" folder contained within the "nova3" folder from the qbittorrent install location. In my case in was in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\qBittorrent\nova3. The folder "Appdata" might be hidden on your system, so google how to show hidden files. Then I opened qbittorent again, clicked on "Search". I had to reinstall all the search engines again, but it seems to have worked perfectly.
