I am not exactly see how would this help (how could be this efficient as an addition to the current way of autosearching) but if we turn this into something that makes one able to prioritize certain elements in the queue for autosearching, it would be a nice addition as autosearching in large queues is really inefficient at the moment.
I think this worth a discussion in the development hub.

Title:
  Auto Search for Rare Files

Status in DC++:
  New

Bug description:
  I've been afk for a long time (full time work doesn't help!), and would like to get back into the swing of things.
  A long time ago, i wrote an extension to dc++ to automatically search for rare files and was wondering if something like this would be a welcome addition to vanilla dc++ or if it would be a waste of time and effort ?
  As all the gui stuff will need re-writing with dwt.

  If this would be welcome, I would also appreciate some input as my
  original code was written to minimize the changes to DC++'s source
  code, to make merging with updates easier. If it's too be included it
  can be written less "hackish".

  Points for consideration which i was never really happy with, with the
  original code and input would be nice:

  1) When it should run. I originally set it to run after "automatic search for alternatives" had ran. Disabling that, then looping once through the auto search for rare files list, then re-enabling automatic search for alternatives. 
  Or something like that, it was years ago now!
  Is that the way forward, or ?

  2) What to do with the results. I originally dumped them in System
  log. For vanilla dc++ i don't think that's a good enough way of going
  about it. Also, opinions on automatically queueing up results (i.e.
  with a tick box to enable this, per search term).

  Any other suggestions are welcome :)

  thanks
  MikeJJ
