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

[Jorman]

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 and so on…

Any idea?

Not sure how Sonarr handles that.

Depends on the indexer, some indexer’s automate which category it goes in (Newznab for example), plus more categories = more things = less TV results Sonarr processes every RSS sync and having Sonarr parse the other crap that is posted is a waste of time.

Newznab indexers have parent categories, 5000 being all TV categories (usually at least).
