Search engines not working all of a sudden?
If your search engines are not showing any results, download to the latest update and at the root you will find a file named “engines-fix.sql”. Import that file to your current installation's database. It will reset the engines with new default values.
Or you can manually run this SQL query:
TRUNCATE `in_engines`; INSERT INTO `in_engines` VALUES (1,'Web','68c42d53085561644',0,0,1567321257,1580814530),(3,'Videos','e403897ed3d957745',0,1,1567321259,1580814558),(4,'News','b16521454a1884f6a',0,1,1567321259,1567321259),(5,'Torrents','6ff7034d0894868ee',0,0,1567321259,1592295317),(6,'Subtitles','93314d2add702dbab',0,0,1567321259,1567321259),(2,'Images','954a56c1e00db57aa',1,0,1567321258,1592295337);
Or, alternatively, go to Dashboard > Engines
And change the Google Custom Search IDs of the engines to the following new values:
Web – 68c42d53085561644
Images – 954a56c1e00db57aa
Videos – e403897ed3d957745
News – b16521454a1884f6a
Torrents – 6ff7034d0894868ee
Subtitles – 93314d2add702dbab
Further disclaimer about the Search Engines
The search engine part of the script depends on a free third party API named, Google CSE. If a situation arrives when the API is discontinued, the search engines will stop working. As I have no control over third party APIs, I won't be able to do anything to fix it. So if you are purchasing this solely for the search engines then make sure you understand this, thank you.
PS: NO URL SHORTNERS WERE CREATED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS ITEM.
