I’m definately going to check out Files24.
Maybe I’m stupid, but I can seen nothing on the Files24 site that indicates the ability to search anything but the torrent title. “Johnny Depp” for example returns “Johnny Mnemonic” along with everything else with “Johnny” in the title.
as far as I am aware ALL torrent search engines search torrent titles only. What else would you want them to search?
