var util = require('../util');
 
var SEARCH_URL = "https://kat.cr/usearch/{:query:}/";
 
module.exports = function(query, cb) {
        var url = util.format(SEARCH_URL, {query: query});
 
        // search the site that you choose
    // the callback must be called from the function with the format below
        cb(err, [{
                name: name, // name of the torrent (required)
