< p > All external links < em > always </ em > open in a new tab . That way you never loose your current search results . And to make search results more useful Goosle tries to format them in a neat and clean way so they ' re easy to read and use .</ p >
2024-07-19 21:57:40 +00:00
< p > Goosle is created by < a href = " https://www.arnan.me/ " target = " _blank " > Arnan de Gans </ a > with the intent to make search more productive and fun .</ p >

< h3 > Result ranking </ h3 >
2024-08-07 20:56:01 +00:00
< p > Goosle tries to provide you with search results in the right order no matter which search engine provides them . To try and provide the best results first Goosle has a basic algorithm to rank results .</ p >
< ? php if ( $opts -> enable_web_search == 'on' || $opts -> enable_image_search == 'on' ) { ?>
< p > For Web and Image search . If a website or image is found through multiple search engines it will rank higher . Also the amount of matching words in the title and SEO description are considered .</ p >
< ? php } ?>
< ? php if ( $opts -> enable_news_search == 'on' ) { ?>
< p > News search is ranked by your keywords and how many times a certain link is found , but also by publish date . Newer results rank higher .</ p >
< ? php } ?>
< ? php if ( $opts -> enable_magnet_search == 'on' ) { ?>
< p > Magnet results are sorted by most seeders ( eg : availability of the download ) .</ p >

< h3 > Safe search </ h3 >
< p > Search defaults to Moderate Safe mode . To override the safe mode , prefix your search with < strong > safe : on </ strong > or < strong > safe : off </ strong > ( example : < strong > safe : off geese gone wild </ strong > ) .< br />< strong > On </ strong > will use 'Strict' mode , while < strong > off </ strong > will disable safe searching , this may yield results that are unsuitable for workspaces or minors .</ p >
< ? php if ( $opts -> show_nsfw_magnets == 'off' ) { ?>
2024-08-07 20:56:01 +00:00
< p > The Not Suitable For Work ( NSFW ) filter for Magnet results is enabled . This is an attempt to hide adult content from results . Some search engines have categories that can be filtered out . Others rely on keyword matches . Goosle has an extensive list of 'dirty' keywords to try and find adult content and then ignore it . To override the setting use the < strong > safe : off </ strong > or < strong > nsfw </ strong > prefix .< br />
For example : Search for < strong > nsfw goose on goose action </ strong > or < strong > safe : off dirty geese </ strong > to include adult content in the results .</ p >

For example : Search for < strong > 20 EUR in HKD </ strong > or < strong > 14 USD to MXN </ strong > and Goosle will search for it , but also a local conversion is done in a highlighted result .</ p >
< ? php } ?>
< ? php if ( $opts -> special [ 'definition' ] == 'on' ) { ?>
< h4 > Word Definition </ h4 >
< p > Look up the meaning of single words . Prefix the word you want to look up with < strong > define </ strong > , < strong > def </ strong > or < strong > meaning </ strong >.< br />
For example : Searching for < strong > define goose </ strong > will do a web search for 'goose' but will also show a dictionary definition highlighted above the search results .</ p >

< ? php if ( $opts -> special [ 'ipaddress' ] == 'on' ) { ?>
< h4 > IP Address lookup </ h4 >
< p > Search for < strong > ip </ strong > , < strong > myip </ strong > or < strong > ipaddress </ strong > to look up your IP Address .< br />
Goosle knows your IP Address but the searches you do via Goosle will hide your IP address from the target sites such as Google or Limetorrents . You can see and verify the difference with this tool .</ p >
< ? php } ?>
< ? php if ( $opts -> special [ 'phpnet' ] == 'on' ) { ?>
< h4 > PHP . net Search </ h4 >

< ? php if ( $opts -> special [ 'wordpress' ] == 'on' ) { ?>
< h4 > WordPress documentation Search </ h4 >
< p > Prefix your search with < strong > wordpress </ strong > or < strong > wp </ strong > to search on wordpress . org for a WordPress function . You can also search for hooks or filters by adding 'hook' as the 2 nd keyword .< br />
2024-07-15 20:11:08 +00:00
For example : Searching for < strong > wordpress the_content </ strong > or < strong > wp hook admin_init </ strong > will show you a brief description and the basic syntax for that function or hook / filter .</ p >

< h2 > Magnet Search </ h2 >
2024-08-07 20:56:01 +00:00
< p > Magnet Search provides Magnet links , these are special links from Torrent sites to download content from the internet . Things like Movies , TV - Shows , EBooks , Music , Games , Software and more . You ' ll need a Bittorrent client that accepts Magnet links to download the search results .</ p >
2024-06-20 00:08:00 +00:00
< p > There are many < a href = " ./results.php?q=Torrent+clients+Magnet+links&a=<?php echo $opts->hash ; ?>&t=0 " target = " _blank " > Torrent clients that support Magnet links </ a > but if you don 't know which one to choose, give <a href="https://transmissionbt.com/" target="_blank" title="Transmission Bittorrent">Transmission BT</a> a go as it' s easy to set up and use .</ p >
2024-08-07 20:56:01 +00:00
< p > Goosle will try to provide useful information about the download , which includes ; Seeders , Leechers , A link to the torrent page , Download Category and Release year . Extra information may also include the Movie quality ( 720 p , 4 K etc . ), Movie Runtime and the Download Size along with some other bits and bops if available . Not every website makes this available and all results take a best effort approach .</ p >
2024-06-20 00:08:00 +00:00
2024-07-15 20:11:08 +00:00
< h3 > Searching for TV Shows </ h3 >
< p > To do a specific search on The Pirate Bay and EZTV you search for IMDb Title IDs . These are numeric IDs prefixed with < strong > tt </ strong >. This kind of search is useful when you 're looking for a tv show that doesn' t have a unique name , or simply if you want to use a specialized tracker for tv shows .</ p >
< p > If you know the IMDb Title ID you can search for it through the Magnet search .</ p >
2024-06-20 00:08:00 +00:00
< ? php if ( $opts -> imdb_id_search == 'on' ) { ?>
2024-07-15 20:11:08 +00:00
< p > If you don ' t know the Title ID you can do a regular search for < strong > imdb [ tv show name ] </ strong > , for example < strong > imdb Duck and Goose </ strong >.< br />
2024-06-20 00:08:00 +00:00
Goosle will detect the IMDb ID from the search results and highlight it in the result as a link . This link offers you to search for downloads through a Magnet Search .</ p >
< ? php } ?>
< ? php if ( $opts -> show_share_option == 'on' ) { ?>
< h3 > Sharing results </ h3 >
2024-07-15 20:11:08 +00:00
< p > You can share a specific Magnet result by clicking on the < strong > share </ strong > link that ' s behind the result information . In the popup that opens you can copy the link and share or store it anywhere you can paste text - For example in a messenger or note . This special link will perform the same search as you did yourself and highlight the result that you want to share .</ p >
< ? php if ( $opts -> hash_auth == 'off' ) { ?>
< p > The links can be shared with anyone since you do not run a private Goosle . Anyone who has the shared link can see the results .</ p >
< ? php } else { ?>
< p > The links can be shared with anyone but keep in mind that since you run a private installation you might be giving uninvited guests access to it . To prevent this from happening the share link does NOT include the passphrase hash . This means that any guests can see your shared results but searching for new things will not work for them .</ p >
< ? php } ?>

2024-06-20 00:08:00 +00:00
< h3 > Finding specific TV Show episodes and seasons </ h3 >
< p > To help you narrow down results you can search for specific seasons and episodes . For example : If you search for < strong > tt7999864 S01 </ strong > or < strong > Duck and Goose S01 </ strong > you ' ll get filtered results for Duck & Goose Season 1. Searching for < strong > tt7999864 S01E02 </ strong > or < strong > Duck and Goose S01E02 </ strong > should find Season 1 Episode 2 and so on .</ p >
< h3 > Filtering Movie and TV Show results </ h3 >
< p > Likewise if you want a specific quality of a movie or tv show you can add that directly in your search . For example : If you search for < strong > Goose on the loose 720 p </ strong > you should primarily find that movie in 720 p quality if it ' s available . Common screensizes are 480 p , 720 p , 1080 p , 2160 p ( 4 K ) and terms like HD - DVD , FULLHD , BLURAY etc ..</ p >
< p > You can do searches by year as well . Searching for < strong > 1080 p 2006 </ strong > should yield mostly movies from that year in the specified quality .</ p >
< h3 > The box office </ h3 >
< p > Along with Magnet search a Box Office page also appears . This is an overview page of the latest movies and other new downloads available on a few supported torrent sites . The shown results are cached just like regular search results .</ p >
2024-07-15 20:11:08 +00:00
< p >< em >< strong > Note :</ strong > The things you find through magnet search are not always legal to download due to copyright or local restrictions . If possible , try to get a legal copy if you found a use for what you downloaded !</ em ></ p >

2024-07-15 20:11:08 +00:00
< p > In some browsers you can add a custom search engine . To do so follow the browsers instruction and use the following link : < strong > https :// example . com / results . php ? q =% s </ strong >.</ p >
< p > Or if you use the Auth Hash as a password add the < strong > a </ strong > argument , like so : < strong > https :// example . com / results . php ? a = YOUR_HASH & q =% s </ strong >. Obviously replace example . com with your actual goosle addesss .</ p >
2024-08-07 20:56:01 +00:00
2024-07-15 20:11:08 +00:00
< p > Most browsers will instruct you to add < strong >% s </ strong > for the search query as shown in the examples . If your browser has a different value for this simply replace % s with what your browser requires .
