🚀 What is Jackett? Simply Put, It's the "Universal Search Tool"

Jackett works as a proxy server: it translates queries from apps (Sonarr, Radarr, SickRage, CouchPotato, Mylar3, Lidarr, DuckieTV, qBittorrent, Nefarious, NZBHydra2 etc.) into tracker-site-specific http queries

In simple terms, Jackett acts like a super translator. It translates your search requests into a language that various torrent sites understand, then collects and standardizes all the results for you.

The Simple Idea:

• You only need to search once
• Jackett scours all supported sites for you
• Gathers all the results and presents them to you
• No more manually searching site by site

💪 How to Use It

Adding Indexers (This is Key!)

A fresh Jackett installation is empty. You need to add indexers to actually find anything.

Steps:

1. Click the green "+ Add indexer" button

2. Enter the site name you want to add in the search box
   • Examples: 1337x, RARBG, ThePirateBay, etc.

You'll notice 'public' and 'private'. The main differences are: Public sites: Can be added directly, no account needed.

Private sites: Require username/password (e.g., MT).

After adding, they will appear on the main page.

3. Click the wrench icon to configure

4. For most public sites, just click "Save"

Recommended Public Sites to Add:

• 1337x
• RARBG
• ThePirateBay
• EZTV
• YTS
• Torlock
• TorrentGalaxy

💡 Tip: Adding more sites broadens your search but may slow it down slightly. Start with 5-10 major sites.

Testing the Search Function

After adding indexers, you can test the search directly within Jackett:

1. Enter a keyword in the search box (e.g., a movie title)
2. Click search, for example, this is us (a US drama I really like)
3. Check if results appear

If you get results, the configuration is successful!
