How to use an indexer just for a specific profile

[5ll]

Sonarr version (exact version): Version 2.0.0.5163
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): Mono Version 5.10.1.20
OS: Ubuntu 16.04.
Description of issue: Is it possible to somehow specify which indexer to use for which profile? Example: I have an indexer I would just use for a profile with a different language and I want that this indexer is not used for other profiles.
I deleted the values in the categories-field, but it is still used. Btw: are the categories explained somewhere?

Thanks

It’s not possible to specify which indexer is beeing used for a profile.

found a link with a little explaination when using google on reddit.

And some more info:

What happen if I don't select any category on Indexer?

In sonarr, when I add a Indexer I’ve to compile Categories filed, so I put all the category where I want to search. What happen if I don’t set any category number? Sonarr made a global search or what? In my mind If I search on whole site I can find unwanted results, so maybe is better use categories but sometimes, bad releaser, post their works in wrong categories. The main “problem” is that some traker have so many categories that is quite long select all categories, copy/paste … copy/paste…

Hi,

thank you for the information … I think I will then create a feature request for that. I think it could be quite usefull, especially if you want to somehow controll which content is being sourced by specific indexers.
