First of all, thank you very much for the improvements in 3.3.5! Great work.

I have two items on my wish list regarding the search results, I'll try to be brief.

The ability to copy text from the search results. Ideally I'd like to copy parts of the text (not necessarily the entire text from the description). Some of this information does not make it from the search results to the transfer list and I frequently have to rename torrents in my transfer list.
I'd like to see the status downloaded links. Currently when we click download on an item, it simply changes color. Ideally, I'd like to see if the torrent failed to download, or if the torrent was already in the list, and for a super-duper wishlist item, be able to navigate to the downloading item in the transfers tab.

Thanks again for the great work.

Another thought, is once the torrent is downloaded, you know the infohash for that URL.

Maintain an internal table, at least for the session, possibly longer, which relates the URL to the infohash. I might see the same torrent on two different sites, but, they are the same thing with different names.

Additional searches later may produce the same URL again, if the table was maintained, it could show up as torrent downloaded or already in queue.

Hello,

I would also be glad if there was a button in the Search engine tab to allow us to copy magnet link of currently selected found result. (Basically another button right next to Copy description page URL which will copy the magnet link)

Thank you very much.
