In the actual release I can't use the feature of the Search Engine Tab, because no search engines are integrated in the app. Therefore it's necessary, that at first I download some search engines frome the website http://plugins.qbittorrent.org. In order to maintain the portability of the program, I would create a folder called "Search Engine " in the Data directory, in which I put the appropriate search engines. By clicking the Search engines button at the bottom-right of the search engine tab, I can access the search engine plugin management system. From this dialog I can install new search engine plugins. But is also guaranteed, that not affected by this installation the portability?
EDIT: I find the following folder, which contains some *.py files: D:\portable_Programme\PortableApps\qBittorrentPortable\Data\settings\LocalAppData_qBittorrent\nova\engines. And does qBittorrent Portable's searching ability require a local installation of Python? Probably yes, because on my machine I can't install a search engine and I haven't a local installation of Python. And probably qBittorrent Portable don't have a Python Interpreter.

anyone else figure out a way to portabalize the search plugins? Or is another torrent here that keeps the search plugins with the app?
Don't be an uberPr∅. They are stinky.
As stated on the qBittorrent Portable homepage, it is unsupported. It requires a full installation of Python (on the local machine, it does not support a portable one) as well as other machinations to support. There is a test version in the forums, but it is incomplete.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I was going to say I did read it all but then realized I probably glossed over the line: "Integrated search engine (adding new sites is not currently supported)"
But then I realized I read it all but glossed over the 2nd part because I thought the 1st part meant that it would have (at least one)search engines included in the program.
I have never used a torrent, so when clicking the search tab button, I thought there would be a default one already installed, as opposed to nothing being installed.
Like some other apps that deal with recommended plugins, could we have a link to the python plugin or something similar? I thought we had another app that also had something similar in that it pointed either to an "outside download needed/required" or somesuch?

As already stated, it doesn't work portably. Period. Python has to be installed on the local machine for it to work.
I thought a couple were included originally and did work but additional ones were unsupported. If that's not the case, I'll update the description. It's a minor feature as you can just open your web browser and search that way.

which was why I was confused as to which search engine was intergrated in the qbittorrent portable.
And yeah, it was easy to do a search and install them on my own.
Thanks for the future updating of the description.
