I'm looking to find out which torrent search engines you consider the best, especially those with advanced search features. By advanced search, I mean something like this.

To make this easy to tally up, please post your favorite as a comment below. Upvote the ones you also use. I'd love to see which torrent search engines this community relies on the most!

+1 to those who said DHT.

There's no tagging support, but I'm not sure why I'd need tagging.
DHT crawling reveals pretty much every active public torrent, & finding what I want is just a matter of including it in the search terms.

"s04e10 2160p x265" brings up every torrent containing a file with s04e10, 2160p, & x265 in its filename.

I could foresee plenty of situations where tagging for quality & for metadata beyond filenames & sizes; I just haven't actually had it come up.

Everything I need shows up on DHT search.

Well, except .STL files, but that seems to be because they're given away for free so often there's no impetus to make torrents of them?
