Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

I have 2 indexers set up for the same indexer. If I disable one the other will not work.

Describe the solution you'd like

Alongside being able to control whether an indexer is set for Auto, Interactive, or RSS. I need to be able to have at least 2 separate indexers set for the same tracker with different configurations while utilizing separate priorities. While setting one for all 3 search variations and one for only interactive. AKA: Set one to FreeLeech only and can be readily pulled from. Set the second to all listings and will only be visible to Interactive search.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Only alternative I've been able to come up with is just not using Prowlarr. Or having to setup jacket or a second instance of Prowlarr to configure the second indexer.

Anything else?

This whole idea is based on private trackers. My internet isn't the greatest and upload speeds are even worse. I need to be able to maintain the automation from Sonarr/Radarr without my ratio going down the drain. So I have 2 indexers set up for one tracker, one for FL only and the other for everything. Setting the priorities respectfully to 1 and 50. However due to ratio concerns I disabled the non FL one (since you can't set search options [auto, interactive, and RSS] in Prowlarr) but that also made it so it wouldn't search the tracker at all even through the second indexer. I still want to be able to use the indexer since private trackers almost always have better releases. Without being able to manually set search options I get stuck not being able to use the indexer/tracker at all. Yeah, you can manually set them within Sonarr/Radarr but as soon as Prowlarr syncs all of that goes away and resets to default.

Yupp, I'm blind... Thank you, I've probably looked at that page a 100 times and guess it never clicked.
