This is just another Demonoid search command. I like using short abbreviations, so I used dts (Demonoid Torrent Search) I am working on other searches, namely tpbs (the pirate bay search), tss (torrentspy search) and trs (torrent reactor search). Other ones may crop up, and I will also have a Hakia one.
