Many improvements mainly in details view of a video: video thumbnails below cover (deactivatable through Configuration in the browser extension menu), easier collect of Google Drive and Rapidgator links for JDownloader (hotkey < or \), save/show favorite actresses (since script installation), recherche links for actresses, auto reload on Cloudflare rate limit, save cover with actress names just by clicking, advertising photos in full size, remove redirects, layout improvements

I ended up removing the script because for some reason it was removing a lot of my search results :(
That's important information. Can you give me an example so I can fix the problem?
I can also make it deactivatable.
At least there is an issue with search results when searching anything from the quick search at the top left of every page. I'm attaching screenshots of what I see. On the first page of results, the titles flash on the screen for a fraction of a second and then disappear. Clicking forward to page 2 shows results properly for page 2, and if I then click back to page 1, now I can see the results.
For troubleshooting I turned off uBO and tracking protection, and disabled all other userscripts, but the same behavior continued. I'm on Firefox 146.0.1, Violentmonkey 2.31.0.
I don't remember if I encountered other issues with the script or not. I am now using this script, it is more limited in function but is very convenient because it searches external sites that the user chooses and *only* displays links to those that have matching results. It also allows easy configuration right from the movie page and the UI is less cluttered. Negatives are that the links force the Chinese-language version of linked sites instead of the standard :( and that script does not address the thumbnails.
Now I understand your usage better. I always search for exact IDs and not just partial matches. What bothered me about the default setting was that titles that didn't match or only partially matched were also displayed.
I have now made it possible to disable the filter.
I also looked at the other script. I also have automatic searches. However, they are in separate tabs, partly because that makes testing easier. But of course I understand that it is more convenient if you only want one page.
For streaming sites, however, the solution in the script could be useful. But it also generates more traffic when you open many pages. That can lead to rate limits.
Are there any pages missing from my script?
I will continue to think about how to make it clearer. Probably only by deactivating some of the ads via configuration options.
Is there anything that is particularly annoying or unnecessary?
ads = elements

The good thing about that other script is you can quickly & easily configure which sites you want to search, so it's not generating a lot of unnecessary requests to sites you don't care about. And it's much better UX to only give options that returned a match. It is not convenient or enjoyable to have to visit a site to find out if the video is available when it's possible to have that information all in one place.
Also check out this script: https://sleazyfork.org/en/scripts/487619-jav-cover-picture-video-preview
It has a different purpose from your script (this one is just for the search results page) and it needs more development but it has some really cool features.
1) hovering over a thumbnail shows a video preview. The request isn't sent until you hover + after a slight delay, so performance and rate limits shouldn't be an issue.
2) clicking the picture icon pops up the movie thumbnails in an overlay so you can preview a title without leaving the search results. This is so cool and smart! You could incorporate this kind of interface for the thumbnail links on the movie page, it's always better to not have to open a new tab and re-orient yourself to another page.
I like the config panes for both of those scripts too. It's so convenient to have access to options right on the page where you're already looking.
Thank you for the details. I can understand that these scripts are helpful. Therefore, my recommendation would be to simply use them all together and deactivate the parts of my script that you don't need, then you'll have the best of all of them.
If a setting is missing there, let me know.
Well, I did not mean to tell you to how to create your script, only to give feedback about what is helpful/unhelpful/effective/unpleasant/possible so you can have an outside perspective. I will continue using the Chinese one, unfortunately the one that shows previews on search results isn't being developed and fails to actually get a preview or thumbnails most of the time. So I will just wait and see what kind of new tools are developing over time.
Hey, thank you very much for that! It was just important to me to mention that you can also combine the scripts really well by simply turning off everything you don't need in my settings.
It's foreseeable that the thumbnails in one script don't always work. I have the same problem because there is no reliable source for them. That's why I've integrated several methods, which work about 99% of the time.
I like the script. The torrent search links are a great idea. I always hated how you have to open the Javlibrary thumbnails one at a time, this simply makes them bigger but that's a big improvement. I haven't tried out the favorites yet but I will.
Also great choice of links for other userscripts - I already use Handy Image and Bypass Shortlinks, I recommend them for everybody.
