### How does Radarr find movies?
Radarr does *not* regularly search for movie files that are missing or have net met their quality goals. Instead, it regularly queries your indexers and trackers for *all* the newly posted movies, then compares that with its list of movies that are missing or need to be upgraded. Any matches are downloaded. This lets Radarr cover a library of *any size* with just 24-100 queries per day (RSS interval of 15-60 minutes). If you understand this, you'll realize that it only covers the *future* though.
Radarr does *not* regularly search for movie files that are missing or have net met their quality goals. Instead, it fairly frequently queries your indexers and trackers for *all* the newly posted movies, then compares that with its list of movies that are missing or need to be upgraded. Any matches are downloaded. This lets Radarr cover a library of *any size* with just 24-100 queries per day (RSS interval of 15-60 minutes). If you understand this, you'll realize that it only covers the *future* though.
So how do you deal with the present and past? When you're adding a movie, you'll need to set the correct path, profile and monitoring status then use the Add + Search button that looks like a magnifying glass (v2) or the Start search for missing movie check box (v3). If the movie hasn't been released yet, you don't need to initiate a search.
