### How does Sonarr find episodes? ###
Sonarr doesn't actively search for any episodes on its own; it uses the indexer's latest releases to find recently posted episodes. It does this using the indexer's **RSS feeds**, which typically include the last 100 uploads to the indexer. By default Sonarr will download the latest RSS feeds every 15 minutes. Because of this, Sonarr is designed to be installed on a system that is running most of the time. However, for indexers supporting 'pages', Sonarr will fetch older pages in the rss feed in an attempt to cover the gap when it has been offline for a few hours.
Sonarr automation doesn't search for episodes: It parses the indexer's feed of recently posted content for episodes it knows are wanted. The feed typically includes the 100 most recently posted episodes and by default Sonarr will download it every 15 minutes. Because of this, Sonarr is designed to be installed on a system that is running most of the time. However, for indexers supporting 'pages', Sonarr will fetch older pages in the feed in an attempt to cover the gap when it has been offline for a few hours.
**Active searching** (via the indexer's API) is only done in a few situations:
* Clicking the _Automatic_ or _Manual Search_ buttons on a specific episode, season, or series.
