Prowlarr / Indexers

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Current Behavior

I actually use sonarr manually to fetch my tv shows and i always wait that all tv show is released to fetch it.

When i search for example the witcher s01 there is an issue that doesn't add the season in the search.
I try it using the search available in prowlarr and the same logs appear.

When trying using s01e01 seems to work correctly and add this term to the search query

Expected Behavior

When only season is passed ot the query, the resulted query on the indexer must contains the term

Steps To Reproduce

On the search screen of prowlarr, search the witcher s01. you will see a lot of result not corresponding to the query

Environment

- OS: Arch Linux (docker linuxserver.io)
- Prowlarr: 1.8.6.3946
- Docker Install: Yes
- Using Reverse Proxy: No
- Browser: Not concern

What branch are you running?

Trace Logs have been provided as applicable. Reports may be closed if the required logs are not provided.

I have read and followed the steps in the wiki link above and provided the required trace logs - the logs contain trace - that are relevant and show this issue.

I can try to push a PR if someone can give me some informations on where search to begin to search for

Is strip season enabled? If so this would be expected.

YGG does not support partial matches and has a very anti-automation view...including banning users for merely discussion automation....thus their search is lackluster at best

Indexers/definitions/v7/yggtorrent.yml

Lines 217 to 220 in 81cd619

             label: Strip season only (e.g. S01) from searches, as tracker does not support partial matches 
        
             default: true

Yes ok, strip season was enabled.
Disabling it the search seems to be better but too wide (see logs)

As we can see, the search of terms "the witcher" is done and seems to fetch a lot of other release.

And yes ygg doesn't wan't to simplifies automation... and i don't understand why : if the upload ratio of account are ok i don't see the problem of automation...

Nothing that can be done on Prowlarr's nor Jackett's end given the site's limitations, issues, and search quality

Ok that's what i think !
I will need to find another tracker or check if usenet can provide french content 🤔 .
Thank you a lot for your time and explanation, at this moment i think that disable strip season permit me to have some accetable results.

Season search does not add the term in search on ygg
