Episodes not found with Sonarr and Jackett has them

Sonarr version (exact version): [v3.0.3.713]
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows):
OS: Windows 10
Debug logs: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qv9k58hxc5akllr/20200305_sonarr.debug.0.txt?dl=0
Description of issue:
If I search manually in Jackett itself, there are more results.
I want Sonarr to find these through the indexer as well, but it looks like I am not able to figure out how.
What can I change in the settings to achieve this?

a lot of these wanted results don’t popup through the indexer:
These are the result of Category: 5000 & 5040

And they are not showing up in the logs as a possible result.

Also when I manually do a search through Sonarr, these links are missing.

My idea is that a file that is called like “The.Walking.Dead.S10E09” with this interpunction does get found and if there are spaces they don’t get found.

20200305,16:59,edit; I created a new machine with Jackett and configured it with only 1337x.to and Toros.
And this time it showed the missing reports.
But it was queried differently by Sonarr and then the results are different.
I noticed that 1337x.to and Toros don’t show results on a imdbid-query:

The working query:

I should have 2 indexers and put in the Series which Indexer to use or something like that.
Because once you know which trackers cannot work with tvdbid’s or imdbid’s then we ge a better endresult.

Kind regards,
Marcel

If they’re in categories that Sonarr is asking for from Jackett then Jackett is either filtering them out or it is not actually getting them from the indexer.

Sonarr performs searches against Jackett in a standardized way, The debug logs show how that’s done (which includes spaces, not periods), but results should be returned regardless what what the tracker or release title actually contain.

Hi markus101,

thank you for replying.
I was editing my question, while you answered.

I hope you know of a way how to handle this.

Sonarr only queries by IMDB ID if the indexer (or Jackett in this case) says it supports searching by it, I know at some point Jackett started saying it could then updated to indicate it only could for movies, if it’s still reporting it can search by IMDB ID, but can’t then Jackett needs to fix it. If an IMDB ID search yields 0 results then Sonarr will search by title though.

My workaround seems to be to have 2 Sonarr-Indexers. Both Jackett. One Jackett with only the non-imdb-capable and one with the capable ones. I really get a lot better results and now I can see the missing files. I am sure that Jackett gets confused somehow when the different kind of indexers in Jackett follow each other. Perhaps the mode-status of the previous indexers does not get reset and then doesn’t switch to search for a non-imdb-capable one.

For now my problem is solved.
Thank you for helping.

You shouldn’t use aggregate indexers from Jackett that’ll cause all sorts of issues. For each indexer in Jackett that you want to use in Sonarr you should add it to Sonarr directly.
