Search profiles

Named profiles select which indexers to query and which output adapters to expose. Stored as profiles.instances (NZBDAV_CONFIG__PROFILES__INSTANCES — see headless).

Control Effect Default
Name Profile label
Indexers Leave all unchecked = every enabled indexer all
JSON Search API Vendor-neutral JSON adapter on if unset
Newznab For Prowlarr/Sonarr/Radarr on if unset
Addon Manifest-based addon endpoint on if unset
Query fallback — Movies Extra title searches when ID lookup is short Off; threshold 3
Query fallback — TV Off / Title+episode / Broad Off; threshold 3

Treat each generated token as a secret. Adapter URLs look like:

  • Newznab: http://nzbdav:3000/adapters/newznab/{token}
  • Addon: http://nzbdav:3000/adapters/addon/{token}/manifest.json
  • JSON: GET /api/search/{token}/lookup?...

Tip

Fallback queries spend per-indexer hit/rate limits.
