Is there some way to get it to pass the season as a double diget?

Searching for Show 2 10 seams to give odd results for Mininova, but if I could figure out how to make it search for Show S02E10 I get lots of hits.

I havent tried this but couldnt you do something like:

http://google.com/search?q={ShowName}+S0{Season}E{Episode} ?

That works except for shows that have 10 or more seasons (that is what I am doing curently)

Use the tag {Season:2}, which will pad it with a leading 0, e.g.:


http://www.mininova.org/search/{ShowName}+{Season:2}+{Episode}/8

The "/8" limits it to TV shows.

Damn you are good.

Ok. I am making a comitmitment here, and hopefully others will see this and do the same.

Everytime you you throw in bits of coolness like this that makes my life easier I am going to go hit the donate link.

Enjoy the beer.

Now I just need the same option for epp number
EDIT: Nevermind. Eppy numbers come as 2 digets by default so that works.

Thanks for the drink :)

On the "Search Engines" dialog, if you hit the "Tags..." button at the bottom you can see what tags there are, and which ones have variations in the length the number can be padded out to. Select a show+season in My Shows before opening the dialog, and you'll see some examples of what they'll turn into when searching.
