I attest that there is not an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

I confirm this is not related to a Cardigann YML Indexer

Current Behavior

When Sonarr performs a season search through Prowlarr, Prowlarr forwards a season= query parameter to the DrunkenSlug indexer. DrunkenSlug’s Newznab API does not support the season parameter for tvsearch, which results in no season pack results being returned.
If the query is instead sent as plain text (e.g., q=Show+Name+S02), DrunkenSlug returns season packs correctly.

I reached out to DrunkenSlug about this behavior, but they were unable or unwilling to provide help or clarification regarding API parameter support.

Expected Behavior

Prowlarr should recognize that DrunkenSlug does not support seasonSearch and omit the season parameter.
A plain query-based search such as:

t=tvsearch&q=Show+Name+S02

Steps To Reproduce

Add DrunkenSlug from the built-in Prowlarr indexer list.
Sync Prowlarr to Sonarr.
In Sonarr, perform a Season Search (manual or automatic).
Enable Debug/Trace logs in Prowlarr.
Observe outgoing requests include season=X and that no season packs are returned.

Environment

- OS: Unraid 7.2.0
- Prowlarr: 2.1.5.5216
- Sonarr: 4.0.16.2944
- Docker Install: Yes
- Using Reverse Proxy: No

The newznab implementation is generic and hard-coding conditions per indexer are avoided.

You're correct in your assumption on season=1 not returning everything, but not to the actual issue which is that the indexer failed to map the season for all results.

Sadly this needs to be fixed on DS, as while it's fixing your use-case it might break other kind of search (for example anime season seaching which sometimes uses batches).

Is there any possibility to add a toggle to the generic newznab config to omit the season parameter?
