Utorrent Searches

[Xanzia]

It seems that having downloaded the usually excellent Utorrent on my new (vista OS) computer it doesn't yield any meaningful search results.

It worked well enough on my former PC, I'd type in the name of movie/song in the search window and could choose from a range of sites to search. It would then go to the usual extensive list of files with that search word included in the title.

Now, I have only google and bit-torrent as options and of course bit-torrent is the one to choose here. I do so, search for the movie/song and find absolutely nothing.

For example, searching for Royksopp (a Norwegian pop group) it takes me to http://search.utorrent.com/search.php?q=royksopp&e=http%3a%2f%2fwww.bittorrent.com%2fsearch%3fclient%3dutorrent1770%26search%3d&u=1

and there are 0 results.

On my former system there were quite a few, despite the relatively obscure nature of the band.

So what's going on? Any ideas would be enormously illuminating

The default list of search engines has been removed. You can probably find the old list on Google. http://www.google.com/search?q=utorrent+search+engine

But why not just post a sticky? And why were they removed in the first place? Something to do with bT buying uT?

Something to do with the fact that there's legal liabilities involved in keeping the old list, regardless of who owns uT.
