Hi.

I'm using v3.0.0 on windows 7
I have python 2.7.3 installed

There is no search engin listed when I hit the "search engines..." button
When I try to update the list of search engines, I get this message: "sorry, update server is temporarly unavailable"

When I try to install manually some unofficial search engine via the "install new one button", I get "... search engine could not be installed"

Please try to reinstall python 2.7. If search does not work, it usually means there is something wrong the Python installation.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both python 2.7 32bit and 64bit
without success. I have also tried a reinstall of qbittorrent without
success.
Thanks.

Please try the following:

Stop qBittorrent
look for nova2.py on your hard disk and try to remove its parent folder
Start qBittorrent again

This should install fresh copies on nova2.py and the search plugins to your hard disk.
