### How does Sonarr find episodes? ###
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.
Sonarr's normal behavior is to passively monitor your indexers: 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 the feed 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.
Put another way, Sonarr will only find episodes that are newly uploaded to your indexers. It will not actively try to find episodes you want that aired in the past.
**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.
