Indexers are installed correctly and tested, but consistently return no results about xdm HOT 4 CLOSED

By default the Movie plugin literally searches for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)"
if i do a manual search for that i find nothing

BUT i know XDM can find the movie. what i did is configure the Replace plugin
like so
Replace This:

 &;:;é;';/;!

With This:

; ;e;;; 

this will "clean" the search term with some chars that are unusual
maybe that helps

from xdm.

I'm afraid that did not help. A just tested with a different move below are the complete logs. I've got several indexers loaded it, so it should be able to find something.

Could it be that the APIs are not passing correctly in the urls that do the search?

Newsnab final search for term The Book of Eli (2010) url

http://[MYINDEXERURLHEREISCORRECT]/api?apikey=##apikey##&maxage=1500&o=json&cat=&q=The+Book+of+Eli+%282010%29&t=search

the "cat" -> category is missing ... it should at least use "Movies"
but the other log entry uses your configured category (which will not work)

https://[MYINDEXERURLHEREISCORRECT].info/api?apikey=##apikey##&maxage=900&o=json&cat=Movies&q=The+Book+of+Eli+%282010%29&t=search

newznab uses numbers as categories and that is what it needs for the search url
e.g. my indexers use "2000" for Movies

also try the "Get categories. Experimental!" button first

from xdm.

And that solved it. I mistakenly thought that categories needed to match sabnzbd rather than the indexer's numerical categories. "get categories" populated the fields correctly. Nzbs are now found and correctly loaded into the downloader. Fantastic.
