How to install QBittorrent search plugins on a seedbox? (lemm.ee)

Hi all! I have a Feral seedbox that runs QBit and can't seem to install search plugins. I've tried a few things:

From the unofficial search plugins page, open the raw python for 1337x and paste its URL into QBit after opening Search plugins > Install new plugin > Plugin path.
Download that same .py file and FTP it to my seedbox. In Plugin path, enter ~/.local/share/qBittorrent/nova3/engines/one337x.py
Restart Qbit, since the above is my plugins directory anyway, so maybe it will detect the new plugin. Nope.

Am I missing something stupid? The "official" instructions tell me to browse for a local file, but there's no file browser in this version of QBit (4.3.9 if it matters).

What's driving me crazy is I'm pretty sure I've successfully done this before. I know I can use Jackett (or Sonarr), but the first feels unfinished and buggy and the the second is way more than I need for my use case.

Does anyone here use Qbittorrent search plugins and see what I'm screwing up? Thanks!

After enabling search plugins, find the button to update plugins. It should grab a handful of the top ones to start with, including 1337x.

I'm not sure what is causing the issue preventing you from adding it manually, though.

Yeah, I'm stumped. I deleted all the plugins and restarted QBit, then clicked Update plugins. After restarting again, I had the default ones. But I can't add any.

Just to rule this out, what do you mean by "enabling search plugins"? I don't see a setting for that.

Oh, maybe it's enabled by default in your installation. Normally, you'd have to click View -> Search engine to toggle showing the search tab.

Oh, understood! Yup, it's on by default.

I ended up registering for the QBittorrent forums, since I'm just not going to figure this out elsewhere. If the admins ever approve me 🙄and I post and get an answer, I'll update this thread.
