 Controls how Seeker selects which item to search next from the pool of eligible candidates. Available strategies:
 
-- **Balanced Weighted** — Prioritizes items that are both newly added and have not been searched recently. A good default for most libraries.
-- **Oldest Search First** — Works through items in order, starting with those that have not been searched for the longest time. Guarantees every item is covered in sequence.
-- **Oldest Search Weighted** — Favors items that have not been searched recently, but still gives other items a chance.
-- **Newest First** — Always picks the most recently added items first. Best for keeping new additions up to date quickly.
-- **Newest Weighted** — Favors recently added items, but still gives older items a chance.
-- **Random** — Every eligible item has an equal chance of being picked with no prioritization.
+- **Balanced Weighted**: Prioritizes items that are both newly added and have not been searched recently. A good default for most libraries.
+- **Oldest Search First**: Picks the items that went longest without a search, never-searched items first.
+- **Oldest Search Weighted**: Favors items that have not been searched recently, but still gives other items a chance.
+- **Newest First**: Always picks the most recently added items first. Best for keeping new additions up to date quickly.
+- **Newest Weighted**: Favors recently added items, but still gives older items a chance.
+- **Random**: Every eligible item has an equal chance of being picked with no prioritization.
 
 <Note>
 Regardless of the strategy, items already searched in the current cycle are excluded from selection. The strategy only determines the order in which unsearched items are considered.
+
+Search times come from Sonarr and Radarr, so manual searches and searches from other tools count. Items with the same search time go in random order.
