Indexer search

Configure Newznab indexers under Settings → Indexers, then search from the UI or expose them through Search profiles. InfiniDysk can also pull-sync Prowlarr-managed Usenet indexers from one Prowlarr instance since 1.1.0.

Profiles and adapters

Each profile selects indexers and optional adapters:

Adapter Use
Newznab http://nzbdav:3000/adapters/newznab/{token} for Prowlarr/*Arr
Addon Manifest at /adapters/addon/{token}/manifest.json
JSON GET /api/search/{token}/lookup?...

Treat profile tokens as secrets. Play links in results have a configurable lifetime (Watchdog → Search link lifetime) since 0.8.0.

Ranking since 1.3.0

Search Profile adapters apply two independent controls:

  • Strict matching (per indexer) rejects an explicit wrong movie year when canonical metadata is known. Lack of year evidence stays permissive. This is not a quality sort, and it does not apply show-premiere years to TV/episode results.
  • Result ordering (per profile, default Off) can sort by resolution, or by resolution then source, before the usual grabs/size/posted-date tie-breakers.

Settings → Indexers manual search does not use Search Profiles and keeps its existing order.

Filters

Manual regex excludes plus synced remote lists (e.g. TRaSH-style JSON). Synced patterns refresh on a schedule; last-good cache survives temporary URL failures.
