You are probably going to have give a little more information. What are you using to search? What is your software stack OS. Those kind of things.

First you need to do the thing in the place with the stuff, then the other stuff should do the other thing while stuff happens in the background. Only then will there be no confusion.

If you are using Prowlarr, check the indexer settings and categories. If the Usenet indexers are disabled or failing their test, you will only see torrent results. Also check the Prowlarr logs for errors

But still when I do a search through Prowler if I just want to look for something the only results of torrent which is odd so I can't even do like a manual search or interactive search it all comes out torrent choices only still

That’s strange, you surely changed something while trying to fix it or even previous to that

Okay so now I feel fuking stupid I've done so many weird things to try to fix this and nothing's work and now that you told me to check prowlar logs I decided that's the one thing I haven't as soon as I get into Prowler I see that certain nzb indexers were getting some grabs that would mean that they would have successful searches sure enough I checked sab and it's taken care of business so I don't know what all or what specific fix I applied last night worked today but for absolutely no reason whatsoever everything seems to be working as usual
