I would like to request a feature that would allow the extra upload field to be used as a search filter.

My experience:
I created a custom upload field on my site.
It's a selectbox with various air date years (eg: 1990, 1980, 1970s, etc...)
Adding the field to the browse page to view works fine.

However, I would like the feature that would allow the option to add this field as a search filter, so my users would be able to filter torrents based on air date years.

Ofcourse, this can be expandable to other users with different fields.

Cheers

Umm , create a cron job to add custom field value to Tags, then you can get all 1990 files by visiting http://www.yoursite.com/?p=torrents&pid=10&tag=1990
