## Two kinds of search methods: historical vs monitoring
Radar has two search methods: historical and monitoring. Monitoring identifies releases occurring after monitoring starts. Historical search finds previous releases.
Monitoring is enabled by toggling a banner icon, where a solid banner indicates monitoring is enabled.
Historical search is invoked by clicking the magnifying glass icon.
If you only enable monitoring, Radarr will only download releases that occur after monitoring is enabled.
When the magnifying glass icon is clicked, a single historical search is stared; however, the historical search is filtered to include only monitored episodes. So, monitoring of the show, season or episodes must be enabled first, before historical search.
In other words, after you add a show to Radarr, first toggle the banner to select either show, season or individual episodes, and then click the magnifying glass to start a historical search for those selections.
## Misc
* We use [The MovieDB](https://www.themoviedb.org) for gathering information. Sometimes a movie in IMDb is not TMDb, please help by contributing to TMDb and the movie will then show up in Radarr Movie Look up.
