Is there a way to add a "preferred" search term as opposed to "must (not) contain"

So, been using sonarr for a while, this has been an issue ive dealt with time and time again. There might be a solution that im unaware of, otherwise maybe its a feature worth adding?

The problem is, lets say you add some anime to your library. Anime comes with lots of different sub services. I always want to make sure there are english subs on my anime, but there seems to not be a easy way to ensure this. Obviously, if you know all the fansub groups that offers english subs, you could create a tag and apply that as a requirement (“must contain”), but sometimes its a bit of effort to do that research and find all the english sub groups.

Instead, i want the following:
To have a way to add some subgroups (or some keywords) that you “prefer” (either add this globally, or into a tag). Lets say you add “horriblesubs” as a preferred keyword. This means, when downloading, it will prioritise something that contains “horriblesubs” over other releases of the same quality (it should also override pre-downloaded episodes too). Lets say sonarr already has a 1080p release downloaded for some episode, that was from a different fansub group (so, doesnt contain “horriblesubs”), but sonarr sees a 1080p horriblesubs release that just became available, and even though sonarr already has a 1080p release, it should download the new 1080p horriblesubs release because its preferred.

Can we please have a feature like this? If this already exists, please tell me how i can achieve it? :slight_smile:

Not currently possible.
