I pirate and the private usenet website I use has this funky search rules for "sphinx" they call it. Never seen it before.

I copied and pasted the search engine query term rules they have on the page, then said I want to find all American Dad episodes for season 18 with x265 codec. And it gave me the query to use.

This thing saves a bunch of time all over the place. This is truly the bicycle for the mind.

Sphinx is open source search engine. Sphinx allows full-text searches over large data sources.
It's not open source since 2017. The open source fork is https://github.com/manticoresoftware/manticoresearch
