Mylar has stopped finding NZBs

[thewindupboy]

Last week, mylar seemed to have simply stopped finding the NZBs (I'm using NZB.SU) for new issues. If I put in an older comic, like Catwoman, it seems to work fine and downloads everything. But the comics I have been reading seem to never get found (except for Batgirl and Nameless, for some reason).

Anyhow, I manually prompted it to search for a comic that I know is out there: The Manhattan Projects: The Sun Beyond the Stars 003 Below are the results

I think it's the ':' that's causing the problem - mylar attempts to safe search it by removing the character but then it's placed in a search result with a - that usually denotes an issue title or the like.

Have you tried to set the Alternate Search Name to 'The Manhattan Projects -The Sun Beyond the Stars'?

[thewindupboy]

Should I include the year? Using Captain Marvel & The Carol Corps (2015), should use: Captain Marvel and The Carol Corps (2015)

Attached is a screenshot from NZB.SU showing the Captain Marvel And The Carol Corps files

And this is what I have in Alternate Search Names: Captain Marvel and The Carol Corps

That one's abit different. .the & and 'and are interchangeable within mylar so there's no need to create an alternate search name with the alternate &/and replaced.

Don't specify year either as then mylar would take that as part of the title and you'd never get any results. Mylar uses the dates it has on file when doing comparisons in order to determine a match or not.

The problem with that is that the category isn't in the Comics category. Mylar only searches the comics category for nzbsu in order to cut down on spam and unnecessary result sets. So the first two entries in that screens hot are in the wrong category so they would never get picked up by mylar currently. If you have experimental search enabled you would possibly get the corect results from there ( just a guess)

Thanks much! Trying things now

Seems to be working now, thanks!
