From the search screen, if I "add and search" for a movie with monitored set to No, it is expected that Radarr will attempt to download one release then not monitor the movie after that point. However, as it stands, it adds the movie and never looks for it.

I believe that it should still attempt to search, else the "add and search" should be disabled when monitored is set to No.

Radarr Version: 0.2.0.696

Can confirm it is still broken on nightly. Found this searching existing issues.

Wish this was fixed - seems it has been this way for a long time.
