How to open BTSEARCH file?

The main problem with BitTorrent Search Engine Format is that the BTSEARCH file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BTSEARCH to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BTSEARCH file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install BitTorrent

The first step is to check if the computer has the BitTorrent program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name BitTorrent in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BTSEARCH with BitTorrent. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BTSEARCH files.

Programs to open BTSEARCH file

Remember to download programs supporting BTSEARCH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of BitTorrent with BTSEARCH files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BTSEARCH file to open in the BitTorrent application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BTSEARCH file with the BitTorrent program.

Step 3. Update BitTorrent to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the BitTorrent program, it is possible that BitTorrent Search Engine Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the BitTorrent, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BTSEARCH file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The BTSEARCH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BTSEARCH files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BTSEARCH file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BTSEARCH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BTSEARCH files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BTSEARCH files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact BitTorrent
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BTSEARCH except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BTSEARCH file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BTSEARCH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BTSEARCH to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BTSEARCH file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
