Pirate Bay: How do I browse past page 1?
#1
Ok, the question seems obvious in it's face, but bear with me a minute.  

Sometimes I know what I am interested in looking for and can search for the exact criteria.  However, sometimes I need to browse through things to find something interesting.

How can I browse through more than the one page of results from a search on TPB?

You can't, because TPB doesn't return more than 100 results and offers no way to retrieve more than 100 for a search.

If your search would return more than 100 results, you will have to add terms to narrow down the search.

yes. i also have same question.

if we go to main page then type search query, (example i will search: windows) then we click search, it will displayed search result and in address bar will showing:
Code:
https://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=windows&all=on&search=Pirate+Search&page=0&orderby=

i guess it will go to page 2 if i type at address bar like this:
Code:
https://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=windows&all=on&search=Pirate+Search&page=1&orderby=

but, no! it's not working. it's displayed same page like first url address. so any help will be apreciated.


btw Shoshin, if you just want to browse torrent per category, it already shorted by date and we can go to next page by add ":1" in address bar. example:
Code:
page 1 https://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=category:601
page 2 https://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=category:601:1
page 3 https://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=category:601:2
...
page 500 https://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=category:601:499
page 1001 https://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=category:601:1000
...
and i guess it will go continuosly until last page (i never try)

ah, ok. Moe answer our question.

That explains why I haven't been able to figure out how to do what I want!   Tis a shame for browsing.

Thanks, Moe!

The location bar at the top of the window?

B"H

That wasn't always the case, as far as I remember, and IMHO this is not an improvement.

My problem is that I am trying to browse, not search, but when I press "Movies" at the browse page, I get only one page of results, and that is it. Is browsing also limited to 100 results? Then I wouldn't call that browsing, and I would like to ask for the old, real, browsing, to be restored.

Sincerely, Dovid.

RE: Browsing pages

They are available on some links but not others. Example: If you click on "Recent torrents" on the home page, the result has browsing pages at the bottom.

If you browse ebooks, for example, the search field to the left of the "Pirate Search" button will contain "category:601". If you append a :1 or :2, :3 etc, you will get sequential result pages.

I think eliminating the browsing page links is real step backwards and I would like them restored. I wonder if they were removed to lighten the database load or for some other system performance purpose. I can not imagine any other reason. The page advertising links are the same no matter what is displayed so it shouldn't be a revenue generation problem.

Anyways, it would be nice if the page links were returned for "browsing"

How about explaining this. I go to a user page such as sotnikam
https://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=user:sotnikam
or TheExecutive
http://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=user:TheExecutive
and many, many other mass posters..... now at the bottom of my browser page is a list of their other pages going back in time... (and it's wonderful)

Now, going to moronorless
https://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=user:moronorless
and at the bottom.... NOTHING!!
Yet that account has uploaded over 600 torrents - none of which have been deleted!!

How to look at the older torrents? Before this "update" it could be done!  Huh Sad Undecided
