Indexers

Settings > Indexers lists where ABM searches for releases.

Types

Newznab (usenet), Torznab (torrent), MyAnonamouse, and a Prowlarr connection that syncs indexers from Prowlarr.

Fields

Field	Applies to	Effect
Name	all	Label
Enable RSS	all	Include in RSS sync
Enable Automatic Search	all	Use for searches ABM starts
Enable Interactive Search	all	Use when you search by hand
URL, API Path, API Key	Newznab, Torznab	Where and how to connect. Credentials go in the field, never in the URL
Categories	Newznab, Torznab	Which categories to search
Cookie (mam_id)	MyAnonamouse	Session cookie
Search Type	MyAnonamouse	All Torrents, Active Only, Freeleech Only, or Freeleech + VIP
Search in Description / Series / Filenames	MyAnonamouse	Widen the search
Minimum Seeders, Seed Ratio, Seed Time, Minimum Size	torrent	Release limits and seeding goals
Indexer Priority	all	1 (highest) to 50 (lowest), default 25. When the same release comes from two indexers, the lower number wins
Download Client	all	Send grabs from this indexer to one client. (Any) uses any
Tags	all	Use this indexer only for items with a matching tag

A saved API key or cookie is never shown again. Leave the field blank on edit to keep it. Changing the URL requires re-entering the secret, so a key cannot be sent to a new address by accident.

Options

These apply to every indexer, so follow each indexer’s own rules.

Setting	Default	Effect
Minimum Age	0 (minutes)	Ignore usenet releases younger than this
Retention	0 (days)	Ignore releases older than this. 0 is no limit
Maximum Size	0 (MB)	0 is no limit
RSS Sync Interval	15 (minutes)	How often RSS is polled

The MAM list can also feed Import Lists.

If you know Sonarr: it is the same split between RSS, automatic and interactive search per indexer. There is no separate “test all” for categories.
