Description of issue: I have added the series The Rachel Maddow Show and I’m searching for an episode for 11.21.2016 and it’s not found. If you go to any torrent sites, you’ll see that it does exist. Also, if I take off the part “&season=2016&ep=11/21” of the api call and put that in my browser, many results come back, including the 11.21.2016 episode.
Jackett should be translating the query Sonarr is sending into something the indexer understands as that will vary per indexer.

So it’s a Jackett issue and not a Sonarr issue?
-
If I were to use a built in indexer that Sonarr supports out of the box (ie. BitMeTV or HDBits, etc) , it’d work fine?
Jackett is making the request to the indexer, so it should be making sure it’s formatted in a way that the indexer can return results. Jackett could not be interpreting the search and passing it along as sent (which wouldn’t work for daily series), but is the format that Sonarr always sends (originally from Newznab) or the indexer isn’t returning results for the query. Torznab logs should show what it is requesting (I hope).
BitMeTV doesn’t support search (they don’t have an API).
HDBits does support search and Sonarr formats requests to it properly (unless their API has changed).
Torznab is a standardized API, which Jackett implements to add support for torrent sites that would otherwise not work because they don’t have an API (they do screen scraping of the page to pull in results), if a torrent site presented Sonarr with a torznab API that it could use directly, it would be expected that they return results (assuming they have them) for those queries and not require Sonarr to alter the request.
So if BitMeTV (and I assume IPTorrents too) doesn’t support search, then how is the index going to return shows for me?
If you used them directly in Sonarr they wouldn’t… if you used them in Jackett it would scrape the search results on the site.
So why does Sonarr have native, built in configuration for IPTorrents which returns no results (assuming the user is only using Sonarr and not a 3rd party app like Jackett)? What’s the point of having that indexer built into Sonarr if it can’t be searched?
RSS. RSS is still useful and how Sonarr finds new releases. Now RSS-only sites would be added via torrent RSS (IPTorrents was added before that).
