qbittorrent run commands?

No it's not possible.

qbt is a GUI application. We don't support actions through the command line. The only exception is adding torrents/magnets (duh!)

thanks. if i tried to implement it in source, is there a method i could call?
a la someObject.SearchPluginObject.Search(searchKeywords)
- sorry for the c# syntax..

Offtopic: I think might work.

As for the method: The search is implemented with python scripts. You can call the "mother" script that will call the appropriate search engine script and output the results.
Running nova2.py without args will display helpful info.
Depending on whether you use python2 or python3 go for the nova or nova3 folder: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorr ... archengine

Also the wiki entry about how to write a search plugin might inform you too: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorr ... rch-plugin
