Definitely go for prowlarr. you select the indexers you want to search through when you set it up the first time and then you just search for whatever you're looking for in the searchbar and prowlarr will look through all the indexers you've selected and give you the result.

qBittorrent has a search function with many plugins already added and you can download more

Prowlarr, and if you want a friendly interface, you can try Jellyseer?

prowlarr? kinda sorta, but no easy interface

Maybe aside from needing to select the trackers you want to search (which is IMO still very intuitive) manually, how is prowlarr not an easy interface? There ia a search bar that you just write in, and that's it.

cloudflare stuff mainly and coupling to rrr friends is understandable but involved process. But compared to streamio, where you search for stuff, select versions and can watch immediately, it is more involved

You don't need to couple it to any of the other *arr solutions, it works perfectly well as a standalone search tool for manual torrent searching and downloading.

But it's no popcorn time or streamio, no? it doesn't force your preferred client to download in streaming mode, or start playing when available/immediately depending on speed

OP is specifically asking for something like torrentio (searching a large collection of indexers from one place) but without streamio. So no it's not like that, but it is specifically what OP is asking for.

Fair enough 🙂 just have my own beef with streamio

If you can host a docker container, have a look at Jackett. You can add tons of trackers, private and public and search all at once.
