Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

No problem.

Describe the solution you'd like

Currently, when Prowlarr syncs to Radarr/Sonarr/Lidarr etc. it appends (Prowlarr) to the name of the indexer.
At least for me on a 1080p screen, this results in every single search result in the *arrs being two lines.

For instance, if I do an interactive search, the results will always be double space because of the extra space caused by the (Prowlarr) in the indexer column.

I'm sure many of us use Prowlarr exclusively to add indexers, so no need to distinguish between which ones are added by Prowlarr.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually renaming the indexers in the *arrs.
It just reverts the name when Prowlarr syncs again.

I've also tried going to Prowlarr > Settings > Apps and changing the connections there to Add/Remove only.
This kept my manual name changes in the *arr apps themselves but also makes it so any changes I make to an indexer doesn't get synced. For instance, if I change priority in Prowlarr, it doesn't sync to the *arrs.

Oh I don't think there's a way to resize columns in the *arrs.

Anything else?

This is a search in Sonarr. Only one of these results is naturally a 2-liner due to the title.
The rest are two lines due to (Prowlarr) being added.

(I swear I searched if this has been asked before, just couldn't find another request like this!)
