Add season and episode search (#x##) TorznabApi.kt

[MrOrange9-JCT]

I figured out that the ED2K indexer just searches for the query, so it is indeed only searching for the show's name.
I edited the kotlin code but I have absolutely no idea of what should I do next, I have never used Kotlin, Java or Docker before, so I'm as lost as I could be.

Also I know this is a quite hard-coded solution, here has to be some more work done.

Hi @danielchc,

I saw your comment on vexdev/amarr#94 saying you fixed the episode/TV search behavior in your fork: https://github.com/danielchc/amarr.

Would you be willing to open a PR to vexdev/amarr with your fixes (or a clean, minimal subset of them)? That would really help the community because #94 has been open for a while and the current TV search often misses results depending on the naming format and special characters.

• Query cleanup / special characters: normalize titles (remove accents/diacritics) and strip punctuation before searching, so titles like "C’est un complot" / accents / apostrophes don’t break search.
• TV episode search formats: add/keep additional episode patterns (e.g. S03E05, 3x05, and 305) to improve matching across different release naming styles.

If it helps, you could cherry-pick the focused commits that implement the key behavior and avoid larger unrelated changes, then open a PR from a branch based on vexdev:main.

Thanks in advance — a PR from your fork would likely get #94 unstuck and improve results for a lot of users.

Hi @Mika3578 !

Unfortunately, right now my fork is broken, I have changed a lot of things, so adapting what I currently have into a clean a PR would take me some time. I’d need to re-clone the upstream repository and carefully reapply the changes

To give some context on what I changed in my fork:

• I added caching to search results so repeated searches (you can use to Automatic Search without timeout) don’t take as long.
• I improved filtering by normalizing titles (removing accents/diacritics and punctuation).
• I expanded TV episode matching to support multiple common formats (e.g. S03E05, 3x05, 305) to better handle different release naming styles.

At the moment I don’t really have the time to properly cherry-pick, clean up, and submit those changes as a PR in the way the project deserves. That said, it’s definitely something I’d like to do in the future.

In the meantime, anyone is welcome to use my fork directly — it provides the same improved behavior. I also publish a Docker image on Docker Hub, so it should be easy to try without building locally.

Best regards
