Tribler V5.4 release: Magic Search

Introducing magic search

Tribler's magic search bundles similar items in search results together using text similarity functions and digit extraction. In bundled results lists, duplicates and near duplicates are displayed as conflated groups. The end-result is a cleaner search results list, which is much easier to scan.

For example, sometimes like five identical copies of an episode exist and these copies clutter the search results list when they are all shown. Tribler's new feature prevents this by collapsing these copies into a single search result.

The "Magic" part of the new algorithm takes its best shot at figuring out how to bundle the items that match your query, but you are still free to override what Tribler has guessed is best. This form of feedback paves the way for further improvements of the bundling feature's "Magic".

We expect that this needs to grow on people. It's a different experience and we hope to hear from you people what you think of this innovation.
