The simple answer:
Get Qbittorrent and use it's built-in search engine.
The fully automated gay space answer:
These are the apps you'll need:
(There is also Lidarr for music and Readarr for books)
If all set up correctly, you simply just request something with Overseerr and it shows up in Plex minutes later with artwork and metadata all pulled in and presented nicely. You can configure the apps to look for specific resolutions/file sizes/formats/etc. TV shows are downloaded as soon as a new episode is released. It's better than any streaming service by leaps and bounds.
Does overseer do anything besides let you request from the others? And where does Prowlarr come in?
I more or less have this setup, but I start in Trakt (which I was using before I started with the arrs) and add something to my watchlist. Sonarr and Radarr regularly sync with that and check the indexers I have set up and download via sabnzbd. It unpacks and gets to where it needs to go, and I watch it in Jellyfin.
It all works fine for me. So what I'm really asking, is am I missing out on anything by not using Overseer and Prowlarr or is it just another way of doing the same thing?
Overseerr is basically a polished front end for Radarr/Sonarr. It's useful if non-techies are requesting things, and/or you just want a single, dead-simple place to request (video) media. If you want to just try it out it doesn't affect your radarr/sonarr setup at all.
@ShepherdPie@midwest.social gave a good explanation of Prowlarr. Just another simplification/automation tool.
