Goosle 1.3 again includes a whole slew of smaller improvements to the code, new settings and a lot of small tweaks to make using it more useful and customizable.
More notable though is a new crawler for MagnetDL.com. Allowing better searches for Magnet links (Torrent downloads). As requested by a few people a search interpreter for Reddit.com has been added, results are included in regular web searches. This searches for posts created in the last 12 months. And, you can filter NSFW Reddit posts if you like.
A number of smaller improvements under the hood like a better season/episode filter for Magnet search. And a better filter for non-image results in Image Search and missing data. This will show images more accurately and not break off results after a few images.
With all these new features and search options the config file got a number of new settings. Make sure your config.php file matches the options offered in config.default.php. Simply add them in more-or-less the same order or start a new config.php file from the default one. Check the readme.md file for some pointers on how to deal with this.
