Specials should allow for search without S00EXX numbering

[tOLJY]

Specials are not always (at least half the time) posted on indexers with the S00EXX numbering scheme. The searching should be updated (for specials only - this doesn’t really apply at all to normal seasons) to search for both S00EXX - specials but also the variants

I also have issues with specials.

I never saw specials named as S00 at hungarian trackers. Mostly as SXXE00 or just using title in name, like
XYTVSHOW - Title.of.special.episode

bump !

It probably depends on the indexer, but Sonarr does search by title for specials. Without more information we can’t help.

I have this issue as well. I am only using RARBG as an indexer - no results for many shows with manual search.

1. Doctor Who - Christmas Special
   
   

Eg: Doctor.Who.2005.S09.Christmas.Special.The.Husbands.of.River.Song.1080p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H264-NTb[rartv]
Eg2: Doctor_Who_2005.2015_Christmas_Special.The_Husbands_Of_River_Song.720p_HDTV_x264-FoV[rartv]

2. Black Mirror - Christmas Special
   
   

Eg: Black.Mirror.White.Christmas.1080p.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.H.264-Coo7[rartv]
Eg2: Black Mirror S02 Special White Christmas HDTV x264-RiVER [oldeztv]

Thanks for the info, looks like Sonarr was never searching for specials on RARBG, we’ll fix that up for the next release.
