I'm new to usenet, but Im still a little confused what the difference between a provider and indexer is. The definitions seem to suggest that the provider is the source of the ISOs, but I constantly hear people talk about using different indexers to get better search results of their ISOs. Can someone clear this up for me?

I have sonarr and sab, and I have been running DS and NZBPlanet as indexers. It has mostly worked for my ISOs. But I have a couple ISOs that either cannot be found or download and fail. Today I added ninja and su, but that only grabbed a few more ISOs. I'm still missing a lot of the same ones as before.
