Hash lookup works by hashing the file data. My test file has 0 bytes, no data, no hash lookup. But since I get 3 subtitles on my 0-byte test file it means it can look up subtitles just by looking at the filename. Everything is done automatically. If it can't find subs via hash lookup it'll continue...

So why does v3.50 but not 3.61 work when doing a hash lookup?
Is there some way to tell v3.61 to do a text search on the real file?

I searched for (English) subtitles for "Primeval.S05E02.720p.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.H264-KiNGS.mkv".
Using v3.50, 3 subtitles are found. However, using v3.60 or v3.61, none are found!

I am using the portable versions of Filebot.
