To reduce bloat it would be great if this could be added as a plugin. I could certainly use it from time to time to find specific torrents instead of having to change the sorting order to sort by name. This isn't exactly necessary if you have a couple of torrents open but when you have 150+ like me it could certainly come to use.

Well, GTK already has this type of functionality built into the treeview widget. Click anywhere in the torrent view and then hit ctrl+f and a little entry box will pop-up to search with.. All I need to do is set it up to filter on what you enter in there.

Sounds like it should be fairly easy to implement then. Is it something we can expect to see in v1.2?

I'm bumping this and adding my AOL. I see the C-f search box, but it seems it's still set to search (jumps to first match on the list) and not filter. This is the one feature I've always wanted from torrent clients and none that I've tried have ever had. Ideally it would be a persistent input box like in the mock-up in this thread.

I currently have 547 torrents in Deluge, and while grouping by tracker and label is handy, I still find myself wanting a filter feature from time to time.

Iirc git master has implemented a better search system but could not be backported to 1.3.x due to client and core changes.

Is this feature planned for future release?

I'm also among those that has over 200 torrents on their torrent list.

It'd also be nice if we can filter not just based on the name of the torrent but also based on the name of the files. I like how torrents are already filtered based on trackers so far.
